I take it that that one is your Series 2. If you managed to get it into that state, using the Series 6 horizontally and avoiding any suggestion / temptation to open it is the only way to go!  ;D


P.S. I'm amazed that you managed to get it into that state without bending the needle - that's quite an achievement!
Poroit:
Ha ha ha.
I think our Swedish mate is taking the piss.

If you are serious...
Can you see the end of the coil wire that was attached to the top hairspring/pointer assembly?

Yes, just leave it as is. You can still use the meter even if it is just a few millivolts off. Messing with the weights and the spiral spring was a huge mistake I learned the hard way.

Why would I not be serious?

I was getting pissed at this meter and those tiny parts when I tried to "fix" it but somehow I managed to put it together(not functional anymore though). Unfortunately, I don't feel like opening it again and answering your question.
