Excellent explanation! I understand that you loose the coil mechanism by turning the screw CCW. If that is the case, don't you need some kind of precise signal measument to calibrate it again? Thanks for sharing! You have a new suscriber now ; ) Greetings from Buenos Aires
Hello and thanks for the comment! To answer your question... I am unsure. I have only a very basic understanding of this type of meter. They are very delicate, and even if not manipulated they will likely need re-calibration if they are vintage. When I preformed this, however, they did seem to more or less work correctly. I don't think that what I did drastically altered its calibration.
I believe this one had that plastic cover just taped on. I have seen some meters which have the adjustment point on the back also. I can't recall what this machine was unfortunately.
Isn´t the screw on front for calibrating and there is another one in the back fo tighten or loose the needle? might have worked this time, but i think that´s by accident...may be wrong though
@@pubsub9832 Do you need some kind of precise signal to re calibrate it, or it is just some kind of mechanism release and you don't need any readjustment after this? Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Buenos Aires
Thanks for a good diy. Wish all of them were so pedagogic. Another good thing is that you didn’t talk for five minutes before the repairing. Am now subscribing.
so the plastic cover comes off the front. You don't have to go inside, right?
@@ebonyivory149 not in my experience. On this machine, just had to remove a front cover. On some this screw is exposed on the back.

This looks like a 1530 or sister unit (1515, 1550, etc.). How do you get access to the meter to open it up? I can't quite figure that out yet.

Each meter is different. On this one, this screw is just the pivot.
How about the signal meter?
Same deal
