That is true, I did it. Killed an nice 45mm Omori gauge before, disassambled the gauge, made it work again, modified the gauge, so the needle would not stuck again. But due to the heave pulses I was afraid that the gauge would die again. So I installed an 3mm ss screw into the 4 mm line, and amazingly it does dampen enough.
