Good Morning All,

Well, I'm VERY pleased to report that, in the process of getting 
access for the removal of my B+ voltage monitoring meter from the 
front of my amplifier, the doggone thing has returned to normal 
again...!

Good news----
 Most likley cause is one of the hairsprings got caught up on 
something when the meter was 'traumatised'- seen this several times- 
it gets just enough mechanical 'shock' in the right place/time when 
disassembling it to drop the spring back off whatever it was caught up 
on. Sometimes they stay hooked up and you have to carefully lift them 
off to free up the movement.
