The zero setting problem is usually batteries, or dirty connections thereto. Could be internal but isn't normally. A new 1.5 volt battery and perhaps a tickle with the emery cloth should fix the problem for the 10kohm and 100kohm ranges.
Your "little one" sounds like a Multiminor. Range selector knob on the left with ohms zeroing knob immediately above. Nice little workhorse.
I was Completely wrong on the serial No. as I tried to read it in poor light. It is in fact 165.

Your description of the Multiminor is spot on. I will have to seek it out again. From memory I agree with your comment and I think the ranges more useful for battery work than the 7.

Thanks for the tip regarding setting must change the D cell and have another go.
