Hello,
	Something I have done in the past, I take a needle and rub the needle 
shaft and point on the sticky side of masking tape. The sticky imparts 
to the surface of the needle and I use the needle as a probe to extract 
the culprit trash from the meter movement. This task takes very good 
light and a very steady hand. Something as small as .010 can cause those 
meters to "hang".
        I hope this helps,  73'S
