I have just been working on my spare control panel of my 2 panel AVO.
I also had the problem of having to tap the meter to get it to settle.
Turned out to be two of the turns on the lower spring touching each other. Not fouling as such or crossed but just touching. Tapping allowed the coils to slide past each other. I managed to tease the sping so none of the coils touched. (I know the spring is a spiral and thus all one coil but you know what I mean )
