Check the meter itself - I think it should show around 10K-20K ohms of
resistance.  Make sure the meter is an AU meter - a replacement DC
milliammeter needs a diode.  The two line meter control switches are at
the top of the panel, and have one resistor above that, so all are
susceptible to physical damage.  I had a broken resistor (3.3Kohm?) right
near the top of the panel that prevented my line meter from indicating.
Failing that, you may have a problem with the line out amplifier circuit,
but I think that is less likely.
