[TenTec] Omni V meter

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

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.
