I'm looking to put a couple of small meters in a supergun with arcade PSU to monitor the current. Anyone have a source for these? I've been looking and the ones I'm finding are either too big or way too pricey (like $50+ each).

you could try buying some of those cheap analog battery testers, and scrapping out the meters... just an idea.

What about some kind of Voltage regulator and multicolored LED setup with some type of simple logic circuit?

How about an example of what your looking for, but is presently overpriced? Otherwise all sorts of places sell all sorts of meters.

As a shot in the dark try...

All Electronics:
http://www.allelectronics.com

Electronics Goldmine:
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/departments.asp

They've got all sorts of inexpensive panel meters. However I suspect at your price quote you might be looking for something a little more special and a lot less mundane.

Let's see... Surplus Sales of Nebraska has some small meters, but they aren't cheap:

MPJA might have some which suit your taste:

Bah! Lots of choices, all seem huge.

I like this meter, but it's bigger than 3" x 2"!

Hehe man I had a similar idea a while back, decent meters aren't cheap eh! Gonna be a while before my new SG is done though, free time is of a premium at the moment :crying:
