There I was 20 miles from CMI just tooling along waiting for vectors. Doing my scan and I see what looks to be the "Low Vacuum" light. The sun is behind me, so the panel is lit up, and the light looks 'sort of' on. I shrug my shoulders and take a look at the AH and DG and everything seems normal. Take a look at the suction gauge and sure enough pegged at the bottom. Just to verify that I did the "Low Vacuum" light I cupped my hands around the light. Call ATC and let them know because its the law. Then rummage around the cabin for something to cover up the instruments with. About 5 minutes later I look the AH and it has fallen to the side. Luckily I was in severe VFR weather and had the field in sight.
All in all no biggie. Flew it back VFR to PWK scudrunning the whole way. Had a blast.
