I've heard of a guy that does a VU mod for the top of the UA-5. Except, supposedly it costs over $200. No way would I pay $200 for some cool looking lights though. BTW, there is a good thread on the Oade board about the VU. As well as this board... search VU I think.

Nick G. worked up a DIY version of VUs on a UA-5.  Go to www.nickspicks.com and scroll to the very bottom of the first page and follow the "Adding metering lights" link.

LOL, over $200?  :o
That is more than I paid for the UA-5 itself.
