Sorry, I don't have one. 

But I do know an alternative.

Way back in QST for March, 1971, there was an article about a line voltage 
and frequency monitor. The frequency measuring section consists of a couple of 
resistors, a pair of zener diodes, a 0.22 uf capacitor, a bridge rectifier, a 
calibration pot and a 0-1 mA meter. I built one and it works very well.
