Thanks for the nice words, Paul. Yes all three meters are Simpsons,
the one on the power supply is a different model, one I had for years.
The two on the amp were purchased just for it. 

And yes, the test jacks are for monitoring filament voltage. There is
a small variac on the120 V AC line input.

The three lamps are, right to left: 1. Warmup completed, 2. Standby
(keying circuit enabled) and 3. Transmit.
