Default 94 charging question

My 94 alternator gauge fluctuates when the turn signal is on. In addition the hand rises up and down when when idling. When down the rpm rises and when up the rpm drops.

What could be wrong?

Dying battery, bad connection to the battery or alternator, or maybe the voltage regulator.

I would start by cleaning terminals, check age of battery, then go from there and test the alternator.
