Fairly common with plastic cased meters. The polystyrene plastic case
becomes charged with static electricity and deflects the pointer.
Obviously it's worst in dry winter conditions, just like walking across
the carpet in your socks! Often just "breathing" on it will be enough
to discharge it. The dryer sheet or detergent method lasts considerably
longer. A humidifier on your furnace will help too, but considerably
more expensive!!

Hi Gary
I tried the static cling cloth option you mentioned on the TR-3 PI
meter, the meter seemed to work much better.
Is this just an odd deal or is it a common occurrence.
Will this fix the problem or will it eventually quit working at
later date.
Thanks for the helpful tip
Jim

It may just be suffering from "static cling". Try wiping the
plastic lens with a dryer sheet or a paper towel with a tiny drop of
liquid detergent on it.
If not, I may have one here.
