Default Re: G & E Bradley CT-471

well,i had another hour or two on mine today,so far ive changed all the oc 170 or oc171,forgot the number as i write this!,ive used af178's in there place,also replaced a mica cap and most of the electrolytics,now the strange thing is the movement wavers about the halfway mark on all settings,ie ohms volts dc and ac,on ac amps it sits to the left,if for example i put it on dc volts,with the range switch all the way ccw it sits about halfway up the scale,if i go cw with the range switch the meter goes more to the right untill it is full scale,that sort of tells me the range switch at least does have an affect,no the odd part,when the meter is hovering halfscale,on any mode bar ac amps,if i put my hand about 6 inches away from vt20 and 21 as i move my hand nearer the meter goes further to the right the closer i get!,its as if im radiating rf thats getting into the meter amp,any ideas??,73 m3 vuv.
