I had a pair of analog meters like those in most of my rigs . Just gave 'em away to make room for some new digital ones from China , probably a big mistake ? arrrrrrrrgh. Lets just say they're not Flukes and make a wish .
Did you do the cabinet yourself ? I've done some cabinet work myself but it led to a life of doing concerts somehow and I'm just getting to doing some for my own use since retiring,,,And here I am off the wagon. Doing a 4 day show and might go into next week , It seems I passed another audition,,,,,,,
As Cammie says. "what was I thinking ??"
I did everything except the major mechanical, HD brakes, Air-lift. Aaaaaaaah a fellow Techie! Yeah, the meters are antiques, I’m such a geek I even backlit them in blue. Digital meters back when these were installed were super $$. And I do have a fluke77 ! Lol. Are you a Sound Engineer? Techie?. I was in a band all thru the 70s which lead to a rewarding career in electronics Video/TV. Broadcast Tech/Engineer. Retired and got into installing marine electronics. You should have seen some of these beasts, triple or quad outboards. $6M Yachts, just unbelievable.
All the wiring in the van is marine grade, all tinned wire, Blue Seas hardware. Inverter, charger, ACR. Worked PT @ West Marine so I got everything just above cost. I basically installed a marine electrical/ electronic system that would be in a 25-30 Cruiser in a van. Plus overkill/bullet proof on everything.
