[Boatanchors] Watt Meter Suitable for BA Work

Thanks for all the comments on the watt meters. I have, tentatively, put on my BOL list (in order of preference) the W-4, Waters and possibly the Jones micromatch  (a good friend and local op has one, in good shape, in his attic). My thinking so far is that the W-4 would fit the bench best plus be easier to work on and no external pwr required . The Waters would be a good one, if no problems crop up with the sensor diode, which I read, is in a small oil tank in the instrument (big problem to repair, which, of course might not ever come up). It's also larger and needs power. However, since I do most of my shopping on eBay, the chance of refurbishment is a possibility. 

Tnx again for all your comments...a Very Merry Christmas to all.
