[TenTec] Paragon II meter

[Stuart Rohre]

Mike, don't give up on your meter if you can CAREFULLY remove it from 
the dase cover and see if the meter will deflect by blowing puffs of air 
to it, and see if needle is unglued, or stuck to something in the gap of 
the magnet coil.

You may have a particle of something that got into the gap between 
armature and the magnet assembly.

The other thing that commonly happens is the leads to the meter movement 
have a soldering failure at the coil or at the terminal posts.

Work over a clean desk top, and do everything slowly and gently to not 
lose tiny screws that hold the cover on the meter, if that type.
If there is still a practicing jeweler in your town, have him take a 
look at it.  A head magnifier and strong light are big helps when 
working with fine instruments like a good meter.
