Very nice.

My reformer has two little MC meters which I salvaged from the tape deck part of a 1970s music centre. They still have their original VU meter scales, and as a temporary measure, I pencilled-on a few useful values, pending making proper replacement scales. That was 10 years ago!

With halfway decent multimeters being available for not very much (see Mark Hennesey's site), I would be sorely tempted to simply attach a couple to any reformer I built nowadays, though your way is so much more elegant.
