Junky Repro Ammeters

[Chris Haynes]

I remember the sign on the door of Valley Ford Parts. Good parts cost $. Step up or step back. :-) With this mind here is a tested good ammeter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/31348966009...cAAOSw3uFgc-2Q

His description is a bit obscure. What is being sold, a working repro one?

That's what it looks like to me. Too much $$ for what it is, typical E-Bay stuff today.

Repop but if it works, what the heck.

Part plus shipping out of Canada is around $53. I paid 50 bucks for a rebuilt original from the Doc Kalinka collection a couple of years ago. I'd keep looking for original for that $$.

A few years ago it was talked about somebody tooling up to build these new to original factory Ford specs. I think that still would be a good move, even if they cost 75 or a hundred bucks. The ammeter is crucial to the electrical system you don't want them to fry out.
