Looking through ads on aso.com, I ran into this picture.

What is the instrument in the lower left of the panel underneath the
clock?

It looks a bit like a VSI, but the 0 point is at 12 o'clock instead of
9 o'clock, and it appears to have 3 indicator arms. Also, the scale
isn't symmetric, it runs from -5 to +12.

If it helps - the plane is a Cherokee 180.

Without looking at the picture, I'd say it's a G-meter. One hand
measures instantaneous G load; the others stick at max plus and minus
until reset.

In a PA28, though? The owner must have wanted to plug a blank hole in
the panel.
