Langs doesn't have an amp meter. Mine is sticking. Is there a way to clean it? or somewhere else to get one?

So you’re needing the larger diameter ammeter that is, unfortunately, not being reproduced 
Go up to the top of this site to Board Index and find Classified Parts. List your need for an ammeter for a ‘24 coupe. You’ll get responses there

The internal movement is a rather delicate mechanism. The question is why is it sticking.
I have some of the large ammeters. email sent

Seems like the supplier who makes the Magneto meter could make an Amp meter. HMMMM

The supplier that made the Magneto Meter was the same that made the large ammeters - Fun Projects. Now owned by BirdhavenJohn kuehn wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 1:52 pmSeems like the supplier who makes the Magneto meter could make an Amp meter. HMMMM

A 20-0-20 ampere meter can be found on early tractors. Ever think about looking at those who enjoy old tractors?

If you need an ammeter, you probably need the switch and other parts as well!
The most likely part to be bad is the cylinder the key turns.
That part is usually broken on the top or bottom of the key slot.
They are not being manufactured now.

Bill, my T has an ammeter that I believe is like yours. When it gets sticky, I remove the back of it and spray it real good with starting fluid. Let it dry, reassemble, and it's good for another 5 or 6 years. Electronic parts cleaner would probably work also, but I never seem to have any around.

The old tractor guys may be Steiner. SteinerTractor.com 1-800-234-3280 the one pictured is for a 2" hole Order # ABC016 for Ford tractors
1939-57 but sold for most with a 2" meter. For a few dallars more you can get one with favorit tractor logo.
