Hey guys,
Ended up picking up an old Bogen MXM 5 channel tube mixer on craigslist a few months back.  I decided I wanted to separate the 4 EF86 channels and add direct outs.  I added 4 12au7 output stages and they are working great!  The unit had a vu meter attached that was driven by a 6bf6.  Was wanting to continue to use this meter but since the unit was gutted for the rebuild I need to re design/add a circuit to drive the VU.  Was wondering if there was a more simple circuit to add with maybe a bridge rectifier?  I have 60ohms across the meter. thanks for the help! attached is the BOGEN schematic
