[Heathkit] Re:SB-200 Sticking Meter Pointer

[R.J. Keller]

Vince, first thing I think of  is static so use a lens cleaner that
says anti-static. Then I would suspect a particle of  metal caught in
the magnet. This is a toughy so be very careful and use a strip of
paper to slide between the movement and the magnet on both sides.
Also, look at the needle and make sure it does not touch the face.
Good luck.

Subject: [Heathkit] SB-200 Sticking Meter Pointer

I have not used my SB-200 in awhile and now the meter pointer
sticks.=20
It will not read properly unless I tap on the meter. If I change =
functions
using the meter switch it sticks in the previous position. I have
tried
to free it up with the meter adjustment screw but no luck!  Any ideas
or suggestions on how to cure a sticking meter movement would be
appreciated.

Thank You,
