If it stays in this position with power off then it is likely a mechanical
problem. I have seen static electricity cause this but a wipe with a
"Bounce" dryer tissue will cure this. Otherwise, it is meter replacement
time.
In some cases with great diligence and patience and extreme care the pivots
can be cleaned and adjusted. Unless you have a good deal of prior
experience working inside meters, or devices like mechanical watches, it is
suggested you not try it unless you have a spare meter handy for replacement
when the one you are working on is destroyed beyond repair.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni V meter
The meter needle on Peg's Omni V is stuck on about S5. Is there any fix to
these or is it new meter time?
Thanks
