[Boatanchors] Meter for Drake C-4 Console

[Bob Macklin]

But if the armature is out of it's bearings and you move the ZERO set you 
stand a chance of damaging the armature.

I take the lense off and try moving the needle gently with a toothpick. By 
the time I am that far in I can see if the armature is in or out of the 
bearings.
