I've fixed several using a thin flat toothpick with a piece of
double-sided tape attached to probe into the air gap, where there is
inevitably a tiny piece of debris (mostly likely magnetic) that is
interfering with the free movement of the meter armature. An old meter
repairman taught me the secret of doing this work is to combine maximum
light and magnification with minimal caffeine!
