[Boatanchors] Sticking Meter Needle Question ???

Hello all........ 

This is a little off-topic but here goes...........

Unfortunately, the inevitable happened to my restored Hickok 600 tube tester. While sitting on the bench in its closed-case upright position, it tipped over onto the benchtop as I reached for it. Fortunately it just made a 90 degree fall to the bench top and not the floor!

All functions still work correctly EXCEPT for the meter needle. It now "sticks" in the resting position but otherwise operates just fine as long as you "tap" the meter glass first to get the needle off it's resting peg. 

Would greatly appreciate any suggestions and/or advice on how to remedy this or a source to have it repaired. Thanks.... 73, Bill, wd0x
