ANY device carrying high amperage becomes a potential trouble spot...
if the connections are not kept tight and secure.
A properly installed, as in gauge studs firmly tightened to the gauge case, and wires firmly tightened to the studs does NOT pose a problem.
The amp gauge is not the problem. The problem is owners who expect 40 year old connections to remain secure with no inspection and maintenance.
