Thanks Warren, I tried those instructions and there was a slight improvement but not enough. What I was able to do though was place 3 small magnets on the outside of the meter housing which has greatly enhanced the action and definition of the meter and I am going with this for now. I will put the chassis back in the cabinet and let it play for a couple of weeks to see if the affect lasts.

Thanks,
Frank
