I recently was high bidder for a NOS, 6 volt, Hobbs meter.


so how
do I get from 12 volts to 6 volts?


For the amount of current you are talking about, put a 6.2 volt Zener
diode with the requisite power rating (probably written on the meter, if
not you will have to measure the current draw) in series with the meter.
