Well, work is progressing on my new (old) buzzard home brew rig (pr 6C21s mod by pr 304TLs).  I completed the main meter panel using some of those big black-face Westinghouse meters.  (thanks W7TFO) I think it turned out fairly well.  Now, on to the power supply and RF deck.

I have realized that this stuff takes me a lot longer to do than it used to, but I git-r-done sooner or later.

Nice. Those look very similar to the meters used in some RCA BC rigs.

That's real nice looking. You know you have a real transmitter when the plate meters say "Amperes" and more than 2KV is involved.
