Hi Ike, sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to let you know that your right about the center section being the source of my meter trouble. After some fooling around I gave the center section a firm "love tap" with my index finger to an open area in the middle of the panel, and the meters jumped back to normal. I still have some meter weirdness from time to time though. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to write!
