If one of the JFETs is bad, you can replace it with a JFET with an IDSS of a few mA (like the J112 suggested above). Both transistors are just source followers. They should be similar just for the purposes of temperature compensation (as the temperature changes, you'll have to twiddle the "zero" pot less if temperature characteristics are similar). In the DC and Ohms settings, Q1 drives the meter, while Q2 is statically biased. In the AC setting, Q1 buffers the AC signal, which gets converted to a negative DC voltage in the doubler above, and applied to the gate of Q2, and Q2 "drives" the meter (it conducts less, and its source resistor is really doing the driving).
You may want to check the JFETs before replacing, just to confirm one of them is the problem. If either the 6.8 kOhm source resistor of Q1, or the 51 kOhm resistor above Q2 were open, you would have the same symptom.
