Very cool! I just may have to purchase one of these for my office.

The coolest part is they actually are the original "Westinghouse Electric Company meters" from back in the day. Very cool is right!

I think I may have to send the link on to my mom. She sometimes needs inspiration when choosing my Christmas gift...

I even have some of those greenish desklamps around here. Some 2" cherry and a few hours in the woodshop and I could have myself a wattmeter lamp.

And with the prices from $170-$370 you would be money ahead. Although I do think they are a pretty cool lamp.

Turns out we have some of those old Westinghouse meterbases and meters at the shop. Got the OK today to go ahead and start on one. I will post photos when I get done.
