1176, the green version (pics)

Nothing so exciting, I'd just like to share it here.





Built around an old Simpson 1542 NOS VU meter. The O/P tranny is an Altec 15356A. The device has the Slam/All Knobs function.
Enclosure is a 280mm slim line from Modushop. The frontpanel has threads for the switches/pots, no hex nuts...
Looks better when the knobs are close to the frontpanel...

Looks great!  How'd you hide the hex nuts?

excellent.  was thinking of using that same meter.

Looks pro!
Where can I get the meter?

The meters are discontinued since a couple of decades... I got them from ebay, one will find them occasionally.
Siegfried, I'm not sure if this answers your question: instead of drilling a hole into the front panel I decided to let Schaeffer put some threads (like M 7x 0.75 for the pots) in the panel which allows to wind/mount the pots directly from the rear. This allows to avoid fixing them from the front with hex nuts. So I didn't hide the hex nuts, I simply didn't use them.

PRR was selling a lot of 8 for $200 recently from what I remember:
