Brand New to Vintage Needle Voltmeter

Hi everyone !

Today's Instructables will show u how to turn a brand new voltmeter to a vintage look one.

U'll need:

- The voltmeter u wanna give the look

- Satin black paint

- Golden wood varnish

- Old screws

- Tape, scalpel, screwdriver, metal saw

- 3mm yellow LED (optional)

There r only 4 screws to remove. The red ones on the shell, and the green ones on the needle stopper/artwork holder. U must be careful to don't lose the screws, in my case I let em on a magnet.

Tape the shell where we have a look on the needle. Cut the excess with the scalpel. Then paint it in satin black.

Put some wood varnish on, then swipe and tap it with a piece of clothe.

Just drill 2 holes wherever you can and put yellow or orange LED in.

Take screws and cut their head, then use hot glue to put heads on the shell''s screw to hide em.
