[Amps] Collins 30L-1 Bouncy Meter

[jsternmd <jsternmd@earthlink.net>]

I have a 30L-1 with a real "bouncy" meter.  When switching from DC volts 
(~1900V) to either Tune or DC Amps, the meter swings down to about minus 
400-600v before coming back to rest at Zero.  Also, when first powering on, it 
overshoots and pins the DC Volt scale.  Checking the same action on my other 
30L-1 shows that there is no overswing to negative numbers when switching deom 
DC Volts to Tune or DC Amps and it goes quickly and smoothly
from 1900 to zero.  Is the wide swing indicative of a bad meter?
