[Tigers] More Silly Refurb Questions ...

[Stu Brennan]

Agree on the Smiths voltmeter.  Except for the name, you would think it 
belongs.  IIRC, I had to paint the pointer orange to match...  Or maybe it 
was the ammeter I painted orange.  I have both, the ammeter in the usual 
place, and the voltmeter in place of the clock.  Why, yes, I am an EE.

Smiths offers/offered a generally similar one.
