Steve:
That may have been me, since, at one time, a few of the guys in our local
club were interested in trying to design replacements for the original
meters. However, they have since moved on, and nothing ever came of it.
At the time, though, Duane from LDG was very happy to share the schematics,
and I'm now sorry I didn't obtain them directly from him.
I don't know if Duane is still there, but it may be worth a call just to
find out if nothing else.

I remember that. Someone on the list had a technically qualified
friend who was looking at the info with the possibility of building one.
Never heard any more about it, so I guess it never saw the light of day. At
the time, LDG seemed happy to provide the needed data on request. Don't
know why the change.
