should be a little over 10 volts... I have ordered the Moss ones in the past and never had any issue with them. the Moss ones are solid state, whereas the OE ones had vibrating points. I have at least a half dozen originalsDoes anyone have a good working voltage stabilizer they want to sell me. The one I bought from Moss is a piece of junk
I think it reduces the voltage to 9 volts to the water temp gauge and fuel gauge , is that correct ?
Try Classic Sunbeam in New York or Sunbeam Specialties in California. Both have web sites and phone numbers. Keep in mind that Moss is not a supplier of Sunbeam parts so that may be the problem with the part you bought.Does anyone have a good working voltage stabilizer they want to sell me.

Oh for crying out loud... The only difference between the voltage stabilizer supplied by Moss or Sunbeam Specialties (or Classic Sunbeam) is where it's being shipped from. As long as you order a NEGATIVE ground stabilizer you're going to get the very same part, regardless. They all come from the same manufacturer, and all carry the same base part number. Not like there is a completive market that could possibly support 2 different manufacturers of voltage stabilizers for Smiths/Jaegar gauges...Try Classic Sunbeam in New York or Sunbeam Specialties in California.

When Moss started selling off the windshields that came from VB I found that the folks on the other end of the phone had no clue that they were selling a part for a Sunbeam. The two parts supplier that I mentioned know Beams, sell Sunbeam parts and can make a suggestion of what could be the real problem. Many owners don't know that the original stabilizer has to be mounted in a certain position in order to work correctly. My point is this. Buy from folks that know Sunbeams. FYI, I bought gas at BP yesterday for $2.39 per gal.Oh for crying out loud...

As I said, the only difference between the new ones and originals is that the new ones are ALL solid state and the originals have vibrating points... Incidentally, this is why the Smiths clocks all fail over time.. The points get damaged and degraded over time and cannot be saved. Which is why I send my clocks to Mike Eck for conversion to solid state..
I know you are trying to support Sunbeam only parts suppliers... which is laudable. BUT, if I can get EXACTLY the same part from another vendor (that I have a wholesale account with) I'm not going to needlessly spend more money to get the very same part from Rick or Classic Sunbeam.
That'd be like saying I'm only going to buy gas from the Union 76 on my corner, even tho I can get it 4 blocks away at another Union 76 for 50 cents a gallon cheaper.
I'd be happy to send you an original FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING... It's not something I need to make money off of.

I'm not sure if Fords are the same ultimate voltage as the Tiger, possibly later ones are but here is an old email quote I had wrote to someone. For a 66 Mustang I had I built an 8 volt solid state regulator, but I don't think is the same voltage as the Tiger's. Close enough to possibly work OK.Once I grabbed a used regulator out of a 69 Bronco and it worked purrrrfectly on my Tiger gauges.
