[urq] RE : Small electric gauge needed

[Buchholz, Steven]

... I thought you said you were looking for LED Bar graph style meters ... I
didn't see anything but standard meter movements on the site you referenced
... 

I did a quick web search ... it looks like the supply has dried up for bar
graph styled displays.  Funny, I started working to develop a flexible
multi-colored LED bar graph gauge setup that would fit in the "ABT" gauge
extension panel, and while I've done a bit of the up front development work,
it has been suffering due to higher priority projects ...

If you wanted standard displays you can get them from VDO, SunPro and
probably a number of other sources ...
