They are all used but nice appearing so who knows what other owners, owner’s kinfolks, or their paperboys, have done with them.

I resemble that remark and assume it’s meant as a compliment!

I read here that setting the amps gauge, or just getting a bit more amps, needs special equipment. But shouldn't my dashboard amps gauge able to deflect and show me that any adjustment I make are good ones? Also, I have a nice Fluke volt/ohms meter. Thanks. Friday now. I readjusted the ARM for more amps gauge deflection and all is well. Thanks.
