Does anyone know where I can get a meter movement serviced. Its from an AVO VCM Mk3 (valve tester) and at some point has had a small ammount of water on its movement.

Thanks

You could also try Dowding and Mills Calibration of Nottingham.
Don't have the number to hand-but easy to find via google.
They specialise in AVO repairs. This would appear to be only the Nottingham branch (i.e. they have many branches but only the Nottingham branch has the expertise to repair meter movements.)
