Small analog meters needed for National Union Videotron tube checker turned into a Nixie tube tester

[jb-electronics]

Hi folks,

I have recently stumbled upon a National Union Videotron tube checker [
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/232720201826 ] and I am thinking of converting
it into a Nixie tube tester. It comes with a convenient little
compartment (see the pictures in the auction) that I can use to store
cables and adapters, and it is not too big in itself so it is easy to
carry around.

Here is my question: I want to include vintage meters that display the
current (anything in the range 0-10mA should be just fine) and also the
voltage (range 0-300V I think makes sense). The problem: any old meters
I could find on Ebay are just way too big. The tube tester measures some
15x20cm (~ 6x8in).

Does anyone know of a nice series of analog panel meters that are not
too big, but also keep uo the vintage look? I am trying to avoid the
70's HiFi look.

Thanks, your help is much appreciated!

Best wishes
Jens

This one

does not look extremely hi-fi and it is not extremely expensive either...

Thinking these are still too big? Plus there isn't range of current (or voltage)  that you need available so you'd have to tinker with the meters to get what you need. That plus they are in Australia might be a deal breaker..?

Offered anyways, just in case....

I put together a Nixie clock for my daughter that utilizes IN-4 tubes, and the case was rather big, so I put a couple of small gauges like you will see here:

I think they measure about 1.5".  I will have to ask my daughter to send me a picture, as I am terrible about things like that.  I put in an AC meter as well as the 300v gauge.  I am thinking of making new faces for them, as it looks like they are easily modified.
I hope this helps.
