This one https://www.ebay.com/itm/PANASONIC-SA-700-RECEIVER-PARTS-meter-tuning/311953913575 does not look extremely hi-fi and it is not extremely expensive either...

Thinking these are still too big? Plus there isn't range of current (or voltage) that you need available so you'd have to tinker with the meters to get what you need. That plus they are in Australia might be a deal breaker..? Offered anyways, just in case http://www.altronics.com.au/search/all/?sr=panel%2Bmeter On Monday, May 7, 2018 at 9:48:29 AM UTC-4, GastonP wrote: > > This one > > > https://www.ebay.com/itm/PANASONIC-SA-700-RECEIVER-PARTS-meter-tuning/311953913575 > > does not look extremely hi-fi and it is not extremely expensive either... > > On Sunday, May 6, 2018 at 4:47:23 PM UTC-3, Jens Boos wrote: >> >> Hi folks, >> >> I have recently stumbled upon a National Union Videotron tube checker [ >> https://www.ebay.ca/itm/232720201826 ] and I am thinking of converting >> it into a Nixie tube tester.

I put together a Nixie clock for my daughter that utilizes IN-4 tubes, and the case was rather big, so I put a couple of small gauges like you will see here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-0-300V-Round-Analog-Dial-Panel-Meter-Voltmeter-Gauge-Black-New/282603795277?epid=25016355287&hash=item41cc7fb34d:g:~8gAAOSwVRNZii9n I think they measure about 1.5". I will have to ask my daughter to send me a picture, as I am terrible about things like that. I put in an AC meter as well as the 300v gauge. I am thinking of making new faces for them, as it looks like they are easily modified. I hope this helps.
