Taylor 100A.
Hello, I got a taylor 100a meter very clean inside and out, tested some batteries and seems ok, but have to get batteries to see if resistance readings are good, all components inside look ok no burnt resistors etc, only fault is the dial pointer does not return to zero it sits about 3 graduations up, i tried to adjust with adjuster on front but no success, has anyone ever removed the dial mechanism from these meters or can offer any advice on how to cure this problem. Also i could do with a manual for this meter if someone could advise how or where to get one. Thanks

Re: Taylor 100A.
It is also worth knowing that these are designed to be used Horizontal only, if used vertically the pointer will never be able to be zeroed.
The meter is reasonably easy to remove and comes out whole leaving the offset pin in the outer casing, it is often the case as Peter has said that the metal slotted lever that the cam usually runs in is bent. Setting the screw and lever so both are vertical when reinstalling lines them both up, but try adjusting before putting everything back together as it can be hit and miss.
