Recently liberated from the local electronics 2nd hand store.

Westinghouse models SX and SY, almost 7" diameter.

Jeez, I love the big ones! Cheesy

Destined for future projects around here.

Good score Dennis!!  you may have to start you own "someone keeps giving me all this junk" topic. How about some close-ups later so we can marvel at them and be envious?

If you will measure the diameter across the back, front, and the thickness, I can see if a similar 5000A RF ammeter here would fit into that collection!

They'd make a good 12 meter rig.

Nice collection, D. You could start your own power station control board circa 1920s-30s. I've got some large slate panels with copper switch gear that would go well with them.

Been trying to build up a smaller set, maybe half or 1/3rd the size of those for the HB project we've discussed. Not as easy to find as your average Simpson. Wink

That one is a power factor model, with sharpie writing on the front saying it was taken out of service in 1962.

Do you have the period correct tubes to go with the meters and proffered slate?

Those are some sweet meters. Knowing you, you might not even need to change the scales...
