The next step is to haul out the basic meter testing procedures (copy off 
the web from some place) and test the meter.

These meters do go bad. Mostly a bit of stuff gets wedged in the meter 
movement and causes the meter to hang up. You can clean the meters up and save 
them. Next problem is stuff sets up in the meter jewels. This to can be 
cleaned up. This work is out there at the watch maker level. The meters do come 
apart and can be cleaned.

Do test the meter to determine if the problem is internal or external.
If internal, you may just want to let the meter set as is until you get 
every thing else done.

You may want to clean and inspect all the subassembly plugs and pins 
between the IF deck and the meter. A dirty pin or plug can cause losses and still 
allow you to zero the meter.
