How do they work?

Signal meters...got one out of an old tape deck, appears to have 5 wires. Will post pics in the morning, but if anyone has any literature, it would be great.

Don't recall the model number, but it is about 25 years old, and is one of my nad's.

Don't know about this one, but most meters are simple. Two of the wires are for the meter movement - these are the ones that count.

Two more might be for illumination, is there a bulb in there?

One more might be a ground for the metal frame of the meter movement.

I'm not sure that's legal.
