ALL rest to the right with power off.

There is an SX-100 Mk - II here. It's meter rests to the right power  
off and the pivot/armature is below the scale.

I have an SX-28 in which the meter had been replaced with a common  
left-resting larger size round panel meter mounted in there upside  
down. This way the meter rested at the right power off.  The other  
SX-28 here has an original meter and it rests to the right power off.

By the way, I've had recent experience with TWO SX-42's in which the  
sensitivity was just fine on all bands but the signals required to  
make S-9 was hugely higher than the normally expected 50 or 100  
microvolts.

An SX-88 I recently overhauled could be adjusted per the book  
instructions for 50 microvolts for S-9.
