[Elecraft] Interesting meter

[Dave Sublette]

I was an ET in the navy.  We had a week of school on that rig.  The drawers were on rollers and rolled out for maintenance, then tilted so you could get to the bottom.  You had to reach back along the sides and press a release to get the drawer to tilt for maintenance.  The only trouble was, the High Voltage was on a terminal strip next to the button.  Woe be unto you if your fingers extended too far under the chassis!!

I found it in a cache of old broadcast equipment, so it is possible it was part of an old carrier current transmitter or some other such thing.  This is the link to the picture:
