You won't find anything labelled that already, though. To be truly vintage in this case (yeah, like it really is historically accurate), the label would not be part of the meter, it would either be etched into the metal below the bezel, esp. if you like the HP test equipment look, or alternately you could just do it with a Dymo label machine (you know, the old raised letters.) All computers used to be a lot more roll your own. Actually, I just found an old book with a lot of pictures of 60's era computers when I was doing a little research for the Scriptor Machinalis latin compiler. (Still on the lookout for help...) I'm going to try and put some up -- maybe there's a couple of ideas in there. -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
