I have a nice old Uwatec pressure gauge that is slightly fogged on the Inside glass. Does anyone know a goog way to clean it without ruining the gauge?

sounds like its seal is broken -- might be time to retire anyways!

I had an old gauge with fogged up glass. One day I turned on the air pressure and it didn't register. I hit it against my palm and the needle fell off.

If it's fogged up any then it's got a leak around the seal on the glass. It's only a matter of time before it corrodes, especially in salt water. It will fail.

You might as well replace it before it fails while you're on a dive.
