Standalone VU Power Meters?


Was thinking it would be nice to add some large, lighted VU type meters to my setup. I see Realistic once had a couple of models, the APM 100 and 200. As far as I can tell, the 100 uses a wall wart to light it, but the 200 has a captive power cord. Does the meter go inline between the amp and speakers? Do you know any other standalone makes/models that may have been available in the good old VU days?

Many thanks to you Mrd. The quest is on for an Onkyo U-30 System Unit. But holy cow, the few on google seem to have gone for hundreds of clams. Just my luck.

Tp: everybody knows nothing says stereo maniac like a pair of large, lighted VU meters. Actually, I got hooked six months ago when a friend dragged out a dormant, 70's vintage, low power, Kenwood integrated amp with built in VU meters. And what do you know, the amp still worked and sounded sweet too but who cares, take a gander at those cute little meters!
