Thanks for the feedback. I hope the gauges still work, after I turned it off I turned it back on and they all moved again, but were heading towards full sweep again, so I turned it off before they reached the limit. In some cases the analog components overheat and toast the outside enamel but still work, Ill cross my fingers because all meters worked fine prior to this and they are the stock ones.
this is the regulator I have (obviously old ):
