For a long time my "multimeter" has been very

couldn't find anything obviously wrong - pointer not
rubbing on the face or cover, etc. Reinstalled and
it's still "sluggish" and "sticky" - tapping on the
panel does "help" it along but sure is a nuisance
trying to tune up !
Anyone have a good one FS - have any suggestions -
know anyone who can "fix" ? TIA -- Don N4HH

trash, or the needle bearing adjustment needs to be backed off a bit.
I would trash the sucker and invest in a Fluke DMM.
