Put in the order for four. -Can't wait for the progress pics. Extremely nifty business model you got going. I'm willing to bet PL lovers will be swarming you soon for this. :)

And I'll bet there's a market for just the faceplate with working meters to hook up to a computer as shown in one of the pics. Lot's of folks like unusual art pieces that function to impress their friends.

Very nice stuff TMZ2!!

My PL400 Display.
I took 10 12v DC LED's and put 5 in each meter. I use an old phone charger for power supply. I also added Vellum/Diffuser Paper to soften the bright LEDs. I think it worked out pretty good ?

Beautiful faceplate TMZ. Would you share the video link that Lee's referring to?

Not sure if all of you have seen this but I thought it would be a cool replacement for PL meters. The builder is in Romania and I've swapped a couple of emails with him. Sounds like he could do a custom size but his tone isn't all that anxious. Maybe something lost in translation.
A couple of issues would be the power supply driving his display may generate some internal noise and this is a frequency display and not a power level display. Looks like there's some customization available for the opening credit and colors used also.
From what I can tell it doesn't look like an Arduino board but I'm not all that knowledgeable about those things. These were available on eBay last year for around $100 each.

Whatever you think of it.... it's really cool looking!

I'm not sure if you guys remember a previous link I posted to a Youtube video for this guy's RTA display. Thought it would look nice in a Phase Linear if the size and electronics are right. WELL... He's at it again with a DIGITAL LCD DISPLAY VU METER. Very cool and after you watch this you'll know as much as I do. I posted a question in the Comments section asking him about the size and connections,
