John, I have a meter here too that is the same way. It appears that the meter movement is made of a disc of magnetized? material inside of a coil. I was going to carefully bend the needle, but I happened upon "new" one. It's been some time, but I was going to approach as follows. Put a close fitting brass tube from the model airplane shop over most of the needle. With a very fine pointed pliers hold the base of the needle (above the movement bearing area). Now very slowly bend the needle in the direction needed.
BTW this was the meter that left me with a small piece of plastic in my cornea. Just had my eyes exam this week, and doc tells me I am a very lucky. 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Sat, 3/12/11, John Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: From: John Meyer <[email protected]> Subject: [Drakelist] T-4XB Meter To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 12, 2011, 1:37 PM My T-4XB meter movement is off scale to the left of the zero mark. I have removed the meter and to my surprise there doesn't appear to be anyway to zero the needle. Any suggestion to get the needle to rest at zero would be appreciated.
