I have a wv98c and it looks like the meter is roached. Needle wont move. I applied a small voltage thru a pot and resistor and it wont move. Can the movement be taken apart?

Your power supply's ammeter is, obviously, coarse and might not see a small current.
Put an ammeter in series, and see if any current at all flows. If not, there is an open somewhere, possibly inside the meter.
Many old ones could be taken apart, but I am not familiar with this one. See if tehre are screws holding things together.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
