6V Meter on 12V
I picked up this neat old volt meter that I'd like to use on my boat.
The guy I got it from told me it came out of a 1920s automobile. I figured it wouldn't even work, but when I got it home I was surprised to see that it did work, and I was also surprised how easily the chrome cleaned up on it. They sure don't make chrome like they used to. Of course it's a 6 volt meter. Is there a simple circuit I can build with parts available at Radio Shack enabling me to use this meter with 12 volts? I don't want to use a store bought DC to DC Converter because that'll give me a constant 6 volt output with no fluctuations, even if the input voltage varies. |
