[AMRadio] collins "S METER"

[Bernie Doran]

I have a sticky 75a2 meter. I took it apart and there is no rubbing of the 
needle on anything, I losened the bearings slightly, that seemed to free it, 
however it is again sluggish. If rapped it will then move. any ideas? does 
anyone know who made the meters and a model number, I may be able to find 
another one and simply change the dial plate.  would like to keep the 
illumination of course.    Bernie W8RPW
