Hi, I just saw your post.
I had the same problem where the needle would stay up mid scale. I took the
plastic cover off and washed it in dish washing soap as it was holding a static
charge that would affect the meter. All OK after the wash.

I have several of these.
However, before you replace it, remove the plastic front cover of the meter.
Then turn the pivot screw gently CCW about 1/4 turn or less.
Then check to see if it still sticks.
I have fixed over a dozen meters with this issue via this process.
