[R-390] Sticky Meter Movement

[Dulaff, Paul]

Sometimes, static electricity can build up on the front of the meter face
and cause a meter to appear sticky. This behavior happens with plastic meter
enclosures. If the movement is free when the meter is out of the enclosure,
this may be the case. Try washing the front of the meter face with water and
detergent.

Subject: [R-390] Sticky Meter Movement


In the past there have been threads about what to do with sticky meter
movements.  I didn't file any of the information.

Over the weekend I picked up a very nice HP 606B signal generator, but it
has a sticky output meter.  If I take to meter off and open it up, the
movement seems to be free and move without any problems.  When I reassemble
it and put it back on the panel, it is sticky.  The meter is not damaged in
any manner that I can see.

Any suggestions about how to proceed?
