It's actually an old VU meter possibly from a recording studio or from an old reel to reel tape recorder/player. I've searched and searched and not been able to find the right one. It might be necessary to find something similar. An old volt or current meter might be OK and one just has to open it up and replace the "scale". It would just be a printed card anyway if it is an old meter. I'm not sure why it would have a "charging station" anyway as Artie has mentioned that he doesn't know how it regenerates itself and Claudia made a comment like "oh that's how it recharges". We know it can't be fired too many times quickly without allowing it "recharge". So obviously some kind of auto-regenerative circuit possibly using static electricity. Maybe when it's in its box it can't "access" the static electricity and needs a boost.
Also, does anyone have any ideas where to find the voltage meter in the case? Looks like it functions as a charging station. I'd like to make the gun and whole case if I can.
