My N.I.S.T. certified meters went the way of the auction block 27 years ago. I even had a 3 foot square gray panel with 10 pole decade switches and a full scale 3.0 4" round meter that was glycerin filled. WWII sub battery monitor? You got me.

Chargerl' housing is plastic and it's a Meanwell 1500 watt RSP unit (aluminum) -- so good luck there :)
The analog amps will be dialed-in with 11 Bourns 3K 19 turn cermets.
And thanks for some intelligent info about the meter Landy. Why ignorant people respond to concise questions on eBay is beyond me. "Yeah. I own six. Dah meter shows "L" when out of range" (especially after smoking a quarter pounder?)
