    It was hooked up and working on my first 1800e ('72). It would slowly come off cold and settle into the lower middle range. And I never saw it budge at all - at least any time I bothered looking at it.

    On my current '71 1800e some previous owner replaced it with a matching Smiths ammeter. I'm guessing they never saw it budge and figured they might as well get something useful for that dash spot.
