I had to pick between a $400 digital tester or the old analog meter for a tricky shutter job in a vintage Nikon

Actually, analog meters are often better for those old, slow shutter speeds.

Which model Nikon, and did the analog meter actually give you a usable reading?

Should have just used your finger to feel the shutter drag. That old analog needle probably bounced around more than a kid on a sugar rush. Bet you spent more time guessing what the meter meant than actually fixing the camera. Sometimes the fancy tool just gives you a fancy way to be wrong.
