That is a great meter, I have 3 of them. I put an RF tap for my scope in the little box on one of them.
it doesn't come with the power adapter but i see that the center is negative and the outer is positive i found an adapter 12v at 1amp have to reverse the wires

All mine are wired that way, although one of our members here had one positive center. It was speculated that it was an older unit.
Autek is a legitimate outfit, and their products are as well.
The ultimate test of an active peak-reading meter is to key the mike on sideband, turn up the mike gain and slap a pencil across the face of the mike. If the "whack!" produces the same meter reading as a "hellooo", it's real.

I agree, that meter is a killer. I also have one I bought new when Autek was making them but its a white face one.. Im still lookin for the black model...
I think I bought one of the last ones he sold before going out of business. It's a lighted white face as well with the reversed power on the pin. It has been a reliable meter for me and is peak reading. The bulbs went out and I replace them with LED types, but that's the only issue I have had with it.
I believe it was based on the Heathkit meter. 2140?

Is anyone familiar with this meter and it's 12 volt power input? I've looked at as much information as I could and like the idea of a good meter that has two separate analog meters as opposed to the cross needles (I don't like cross needle meters). I also looked at the operating manual and many...
I own Three of the WM-1 meters. Calibrate them & they stay calibrated. I have been using them for 20 years or more & for HF it's my Go To wattmeter. It's only good for 100 watts on 6 meters or I'd use one there as well. The Black Face model is the original model & the rest were white faced.
Depends upon the version you have. I own Three of them & one has a Negative center & the other two are Positive center. I can't tell the difference just looking at the meters so I don't mix up the power cables & I have the rear of the meters market as to what plugs they take.
Mine is the original that was sent with the meter when purchased..
