Lesson learned, just because it's new from a reputable supplier doesn't mean it isn't junk and not to overlook that possibility.

New repro ammeters are known to be problematic, is best to find an old original ammeter. Perhaps post here on the Barn and see if someone has an original they will sell you. Otherwise search Internet/Model A sites, and if you spot them at a swap meet pick up a couple as spares. Originals are getting harder to find.
I do not know if there is anyone who repairs them. Others on the Barn may know and can chime in.
