The front panel meters are sandwiched between the control board and the 
front panel with spacers in-between.

Power supply is a full wave bridge, with a massive Hypersil,  Dahl 
transformer ~ 65lbs Ht ~3440 vdc at my location, not sure on the current 
rating , it did not flinch when operating. (~15.5X9X8) .

Any of the Commander Amps that I have seen and or own have the glued in 
meter. All of the Palstar I have seen are bolted.
