Sigh!  My beloved TMC SWR meter (part of the ATS-2 tuner) has suddenly 
quit working properly.
It is a large, duo-movement, twin-needle meter for forward and reflected 
RF.
The forward needle gets stuck in mid-position.  Thumping and shaking the 
meter will not budge it.
Carefully applying a small amount of DC from a VTVM (200k Ohms 
position), usually frees it.
My next step is to carefully open the meter case to see if the problem 
is obvious or simple, but
I am not optimistic.  Has anyone in the group had experience with TMC 
meter repairs or
can recommend someone with experience?  Or, does someone have a spare 
TMC SWR meter (M101) for sale?
