I feel like I bought mine from RadioShack for under $20. Any Radioshacks near you?

Once upon a time, they sold a $20ish analog one, but now it's a $50 digital one.I feel like I bought mine from RadioShack for under $20. Any Radioshacks near you?Currently listening to:

$25 + shipping for the Rat Shack analog that's sitting in my stereo room. It has never been out of the box.

Didn't it cost $20 back in the day? I don't think they appreciate like action figures.George Grand wrote: »$25 + shipping for the Rat Shack analog that's sitting in my stereo room. It has never been out of the box.Currently listening to:

They very well could have sold for $20 at one point, but if he bought it new for $25, that plus shipping is more than fair. -
I believe it's been a while since they were $20."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

George's offer is fair since the cheapest I've seen the Velleman/ATI/Nady/RS analog meter in awhile is here.......http://www.amazon.com/Velleman-ANALOGUE-SOUND-LEVEL-METER/dp/B000LR169Q/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1213465889&sr=8-7HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

I'm interested if it doesn't sold yet. -
I've got one you can have if you pay shipping.

The analog one was 39.95 through the 80's, now $49 for the digital. It also almost never went on sale and when it did it was $29 - $10 off. Also if you get one use this chart to get the real results.

I would go with the Velleman. That is about the best you are going to get for the price. And you don't need one of the digitial ones; I actually prefer the analog.

The RADIO SHACK analog version SPL costs around $45. I bought one about six months ago.[
