The meter movement is "stuck"..It is not the radio. Do you smoke? Nicotine kills meters. Either way you can remove the front panel and trim the screw in the front of the meter to loosen it up..There is also a screw on the back of the meter..BE GENTLE with it..

307 i tryed to turn the screw on the front of the meter but i cant get it to move.i had to get a very small jewelers screw driver to fit in the little screw but i still cant loosen it at all.do you have any idea what size screw driver that little screw would take?.the one im using is to short.i didnt see any screw on the back.thanks  |

First use and EXACTO KNIFE and clean off the Locktite that is on the screw...This will do the trick...

Open the radio up...then look on the back of the meter...there is a small screw there.. spray it with some contact cleaner ...then use a small screw driver.
That should do it. Mine had a stuck meter and thats how I fixed it. |

Yes you do. There is a tiny set screw located inside behind the meter coil
