So here is my update
i found some real VU meters, they are maybe 5% smaller than the size that I estimated. The price is good and they actually work so I'm going to work with them. If anyone needs a link I think the guy or sets. I want to say they are tascam VU meters
I ended up getting an eight by four sheet of the wood, also found a stain that will work I'll post a name in a bit at work.
I found that the trolls going to be hard to find now that there is a seller buying them up, he's calling it the guardians of the galaxy troll so you expect to pay like 30 bucks for it.
I cut other sets of bezels for the size of the VU meters so I had a hard time deciding which way to go with it you can see in the pics.
going to start machining knobs this week.
it's weird because the size looks more narrow lengthwise and when i take pictures of it it seems taller.
any comments would be great.
just a note for you people who get the double deck Marantz cassette player, don't forget to to make a copy of your mix tape CD onto cassette.
Does anyone know with the large plates for the knobs might be from?
