its not going to be quick to fix the avo meter sadly, and I am having truble working out where to put the missing pointer as the shaft is round and gows all the way round with no stop?

I have found a mix of vinegar and a bit of washing up liquid is good to balence the valves in for a day or two to help clean the corroded pins, finishing with cotton wool buds and contact cleaner!
