Up for sale is another genuine piece of cold-war era British military hardware: an original vintage Crompton Parkinson %V-V Panel Meter Indicator. Dated 1982, this high-spec military component was custom-built to meet rigorous UK Ministry of Defence requirements.
The dial face prominently displays the iconic MoD Broad Arrow hallmark at the bottom. This instrument operates on a center-zero layout marked from -5 to +5 tracking %V-V, and functions as an incredibly precise differential meter.
(Note: We currently have a sister unit to this gauge available in our store—perfect if you are looking to build a matching control panel or industrial display setup!)
