The power button was straightened out after making the video I didn’t notice it was wonky until someone pointed this out on Patreon.
I also spotted a slight imbalance on the zero rest position on the VU needles so adjusted this using a screw driver in the holes provided for this purpose below each meter. In some shots it shows correctly as the video was shot out of sequence.
