[Collins] Meter repair

[Raymond Cote]

FWIW, When I had a problem with my 51S1 and 74A4 meters, I finally got some 
chemical at the University here where I worked and cleaned the glass with 
it.  It took out the static electricity from the glass and the meters worked 
fine after that.  YMMV

Worked for me.
