Where can I buy a large analogue meter? Big enough to show to a room of people, about a foot long pointer.

Use a small one, camera and monitor?
Or just draw it digitally on a monitor?

You wouldn\'t be able to afford an analogue meter that large.
Though you could build one from scratch in the true DIY fashion.
Model 8 Avo is about as big as they ever realistically get now.
ISTR Gallencamp (sp?) did larger ones for school labs back in the 70\'s.
There is a Unilab 8\" one +/- 50 uA on eBay right now.

I was in school in the 80s, and we had massive ones, looked like some kind of old fashioned weighscale from a fair. Very useful for the whole class to see the volts and amps in a circuit under demonstration.
