Meters I have come across, had dry "jeweled" movements. Something like
needle points riding in depressions or holes in jewels of some kind.

Your sticky movements may be due to use of lubricants that dried. You
might try using a solvent to unstick them.


What kind of solvent would you suggest, and how would I apply it? I
don't exactly know how these movements are put together. Where is the
pivot point?


If I didn't have anything else I"d probably just use some Air Flow Sensor
cleaner from the auto store. It's light, no residue, and doesn't attack
the plastic that holds the sensor.
