LOL never heard that comparison before. In a previous life I did HVAC/R service, and worked on a few oilers. My own house had oil until about 03. If I never SEE an oil gun again it will be "too soon" LOL
If you look through that thread you'll get some ideas. Many of us reworked the new meter to use the old ammeter face, using the center mark as 14V That works well to keep it an "original" sort of look
