I saw one I had never noticed before.  It is a 4 or 6 inch rack panel, has two silver handles, on on each side, it appears to have 4 eye tubes across the front, and several knobs along the bottom and sides.   I attached the pic, but as I said, don't know if it will work I tried to crop it and focus it as best I could. There was a mod monitor in QST or the Handbook years ago that used 2 eye tubes for an indication of mod percent from 85% to overmod, and that is the first thing I thought of, perhaps a commercial version.
