...a pieds joints
I found this thread and saw the videos there:https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=2932249 pretty explicit (and helpful)
i'm using a piece of the rmg lpr35 (same that i'm using to record with) and the weight that came with the tentelometer (it says "1" on the side and theres a slip of paper that reads "3/32 Allen wrench, 1 oz. weight, 1 mil x 1" tape") there was paper over the prongs also that said "remove", so it almost seemed NOS, regardless the rust is pretty apparent and leads me to believe that it may be rusty inside, though the manual has scared me away from opening it in case i need to send it back to tentel sometime to be properly 'repaired'. despite the rust, it seems really smooth, if it would have calibrated within range I would have taken it for perfect working.
I have been holding the meter horizontal and going as the tape would go, have the oxide on the correct side etc, and just to try I've done it every which way, there is slight variation in the measurement.
with the 1" 1 mil tape that came with it it does calibrate to 1 oz, but at the most clockwise position.
here's pictures of rust:
I can't imagine how cleaning out the visible rust could help anything.
