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! |

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? |

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. |

Unfortunately, I don't feel like opening it again and answering your question. |
