Hey group DIYers,
Just got a pair of vintage simpson VU meters on ebay that were pulled from a Collins 212E console. I have a pair of federal AM864s that just have 1M meters in them and were hoping to swap them out. These meters are HUGE. How would i go about finding the specs for them/seeing if theyll work? I attached one with allagator clips and slowly brought it up on a variac and at 120V from the wall i was getting the needle move up only to the -15Db mark on the meter. since i dont know the model number I cant find specs...
help would be great!
