Bout a month ago I pulled the squeegee out of a screen when cleaning up. Scraped it off right into the open bucket on the ink cart.

Of course the squeegee was fully loaded with black ink, and the open bucket was full of white ink...

= new bucket of gray!!

So if the other two panels (worst case scenario) goes out I have no clue because the first panel still is working fine at 900 degrees.

[We wired amp meters in each line.

I did think about doing that.

Those must be inductance based meters huh?

Did you just repurpose some cheap harbor freight stuff or did you buy specific stuff?

What was the parts/cost of this project.  I'm all for doing this!

I called the electrician and told him i wanted to know how much my panels were drawing.  He picked up the parts (gauges are Triplett Model 230-G )  and it's been so long ago (pre 2002) i wouldn't know where to look for the invoice.  Whatever it was - it was cheap compared to eating an order that hadn't fully cured  --- which is what prompted the three meters.
