As odd as it sounds: Radio Shack makes some little wattmeters that can
show current, wattage, voltage on its single outlet, for something
like $20-$30 (I forget, I bought one a year or so ago to play around
with).  Digital readout though, not analog.  One annoying thing:  no
reset button for the cumulative stats, only powercycle will clear it.
