I sent an email to the guy who has a website up about making the minelab sov meter so I'll just repost here what I sent, and maybe some people here can also help.
Hi Mr Clark, I have made a meter awhile ago according to your instructions and they are excellent. I've decided to add some extra to it but I have stuffed up along the way and I am wondering if you know how to hotwire the meter into the position of allways on. I added the componets forgetting I still had to put the dial back in. I hope to beable to finish this without needing the dial, I hope to rewire it. Would you happen to know which connections I need to short on the panel. So far I have one switch which is the on/off and another which switches on an external led for the display. All is designed to run off the same 9volt battery.
