Default Re: Avometer Movements

My father had a Model 8 Mk II behave in a similar way. I think he came to the conclusion that there was a tiny flaw in the moving coil which was 'making and breaking' at random intervals. The physical disturbance of removal may have caused yours to separate properly. The coil COULD have corroded through somewhere,generating odd semiconductor-like effects.
