Is it possible to get a new replacement   panel meter for my KNIGHT T60 transmitter.

Hello: Can anyone tell me what kind of lubricant I should use on a slightly sticky meter movement. Or where can I order a new meter for my KNIGHT T60?

I think even the lightest of lubricants would not be a good idea. Try this https://youtu.be/qygecXhZTxk or this

John,
Every meter I have ever serviced has been dry inside.  I believe I can safely say, never try to lubricate a meter movement.  I have successfully fixed many meters by loosening the pivot bearing just enough to let the needle swing freely.  This is a common problem I have had on cheap plastic meters on equipment that has some age on it.  I think the plastic case tends to shrink enough to close the tiny spaces between the meter armature pins and the bearings, making the movement sticky or frozen.  In any case, less is better here and I loosen the bearing the smallest amount that will free the bearing.  Lets say an eighth of a turn, max.  Good luck.

Hello: While trying to free up my stickey meter movement the meter hand fell out of the meter, anyone willing to fix, a shaky hand dose not work very well on this project.
