there are usually quite a few "retro-meters" in the business and industrial section of EBay -- not an exact match fersure --
i think that what you really want is a repro of the equipment used in "Bride of Frankenstein" -- which was also used in the Gene Wilder film "Young Frankenstein"
there is also meter scale freeware on the web --
in my youth Pioneer Standard Electronics used to have an entire group of draftsmen who would custom-scale analog meters for OEM customers (there were only nixies back then !).

Classic Instruments is the name on the voltmeter.
Google provided the following link. I didn't look at prices, but if they're reasonable...

Looking again, that particular gauge is $46. Also available with curved glass for $49.
12v and 24V versions available, but all egauges products seem to be auto or marine related.
Pic of the same voltmeter is from their site.
Googling again for the actual manufacturer:

Thanks, Tim. Yeah, I found the same thing after I got EMail from Vinnie this morning.
Alas, that meter's only available in a 12 volt version.
The meter by the way is used in Vinnie Rossi's Red Wine Audio Lotus amplifier, which is a modified T-amp.
Beautiful little amp in its own right, though I preferred the maple version I first saw on 6 Moons a while back.

Sweet!
Got solar, eh? My ultimate goal is to build an audio system that's completely off the grid using solar/wind/human power for battery recharging.
Human power would be a plus for me seeing as I've about 20 pounds I could shed and I've always liked the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
