Is changing out the panel meters of a Pyramid power supply as simple as taking out the old and putting in the new.
Both the volt and the current meters are not working right, and I found some blue led digital meters that are the same size.
Should be a simple swap correct? |

It should be. You're replacing a volt and amp meter with a volt and amp meter. The only problem I can forsee is if you replace them with the wrong rating. |

Hey Capt205, What model power supply do you have and what brand meters did you find to fit in the holes? I have a PS-26KX that wouldnt mind having some digital led meters installed.  |

I have the Pyramid PS-50. Search a popular internet auction site for blue digital panel meter. |

Have you already installed them? I found 3 1/2 inch volt meters and 4 1/2 inch amp meters, is this what you are using? Both of my meters are 2 1/2 inches across. How did you install them? If you have any pics would you send them to me? Thanks. |

I ordered them this week, should be here any day now. I will post results, and any intall issues as soon as I get it completed.
They are listed as 3.5 inch panel meters, and the description lists them as 80mm x 45mm x 23mm
if that helps. I expect some minor fit modifications will be needed. |

The meters are here, just a hair too big, but nothing I can't fix. I will be doing this mod this weekend, so I will try and get some pics and an update as to how it went. |
