Default Voltage gauge not working

Wiring diagram indicates all gauges are on the same circuit and fuse. All other gauges work. Should I then assume that I have a bad gauge or be looking somewhere else first?

I put 3 in my 73 before I got one to work. Check your voltage across your volt gauge with the engine running. If charging system is working properly, it should read around 13.75.
