I have been looking for a website on Google :" Thierry Martin's guide to repairing Revox A77 VU meters" without any luck - Can anybody provide a working link to it ?

No luck with this.

The only reference I can see suggests he's just a forum member here: http://www.tapeheads.net/archive/index.php/t-26979.html

It looks like he has a youtube channel. Maybe you could find some contact info somewhere on it.

It looks very much like the article is currently not available. I tried the old link I had bookmarked and it is dead, as are all the redirection links it takes you to. I had good success with the method, 3 out of 4 dead meters fixed. If your meters are not working, chances are, if it is the meter itself that is at fault, it will be that the ring magnet glue will have failed, so the magnet will have moved and is jamming the coil that carries the needle. It is an easy job to carefully, using a thin sharp scalpel blade or similar, to remove the clear front from the meter body and see if this is the case. Have a look and I'll try to give instructions on the best way to go from here!

Hi!

I salvaged a copy of it, unfortunately only in French, but I'll get it translated and posted as soon as I can!
