Okay Dave. It could therefore be very difficult to repair. I wonder if you could try Meggering the resistance (using a high DC test voltage) between the 1,200 volt stud and the adjacent one? Then, if space permits, grinding or abrading away the conductive surface of the Bakelite where it surrounds the stud.

I can imagine your reticence in tackling this when the instrument is working on all other ranges!
