To beep or not to beep
Bryanj:
Remove the small adjusting screw and fill the thing up with WD then let it sit, shake it all about and remove as much WD as possible then refit the adjuster screw, connect to a battery and try adjusting--works about 50% of the time

Good advice Bryan ... The only reason I considered stripping one it re-plate it in zinc. Always taken stuff to bits anyway since I was a nipper so one day I will dissect one and photo it. suppose I could dunk one briefly in boiling water and see where the bubbles come from and attempt to seal, then plate intact but always risk of ingress of plating electrolyte that way.

Cheers Bryan wd tonight before anything to terminal

This is going to sound like a bizarre fix, but I boiled my defective unit in water for 30 mins (with the locknut slackened) - remove and stick in the airing cupboard for a couple of days and hey presto worked like new. Got the tip from a guy on the us forum I think. Try the WD method first, and if that fails boil the sh*t out of it as a last resort. :-)

Wd in....I will let you know how it goes otherwise it's in the pot.?
