[Hammarlund] help for sticking meter...

[Glen Zook]

Check to make sure that there is not any dust, etc.,
that is "clinging" to the moving coil.  You can use an
"ear" syringe, etc., to blow in some air to loosen the
debris.  Also, put a small drop of lubricant on both
of the pivot points.  Usually, you have to loosen the
pivot points slightly if the movement is "dragging".

I have a 145-x with a nice meter that seems to work
just fine but occasionally (but not always) sticks on
its way back down toward the 0 (resting) position.
Tapping it will usually bring it on down to 0. I have
opened the meter up and looked it over and even
carefully adjusted the pivot screws to slightly
tighten up the axis. That didn't seem to make much
difference one way or the other.
