hardware is with it as well. It is a round meter, about 3.5 
inches in diameter, and mounts with 3 screws. A template 
for mounting is also included in the box.  $20

Line Voltage / Line Current Analog Meter Set For Sale:
-
This is a matched set of Triplett AC meters.  They can be 
used to measure your AC line voltage, and to monitor the 
amount of current used in your radio shack.
-
The Triplett Model 337 S measures from 0 to 150 volts AC.  
It is an expanded scale meter, with about 85 volts in the 
middle, so it is easier to read in the 120 Volt area.
-
The Triplett Model 337 S ammeter measures from 0 to 30 
amps, and appears to have a linear scale.
-
Both of these meters are considered 3 1/2 inch meters.  
Both are NOS (new, but old stock), still in their original boxes, 
never used.  Hardware and mounting template are included.
-
The matched set of voltmeter and ammeter is $50 plus 
shipping from Florida.
