MG TD TF 1500 - MG TF ammeter

My ammeter has broken and I wondered if anyone has one for sale

I just saw one on EBay for $165.

Wonder what the hell the big wire in the middle is? I'm not sure how broken your gauge is but they can normally be repaired. I sent one to Nossinger last year and it came back looking and working like new.

getting it repaired is easy, getting it out without hiring a contortionist is the hard bit.

Nisonger say that they can't repair the ammeter if the pointer is broken
R D Thompson

Its a very simple device with one moving part and a spring. The needle is integral with the pivot and the armature / vane that responds to magnetic flux in the wire loop between the terminals. The needle / pointer can break off or get bent. Should be possible to straighten out or reattach if you have both parts, but very delicate job. Various references and photos in the archives.
