Default sx-42 s meter problem

hi. i've got a hallicrafters sx-42 that has developed a strange s meter
problem.the receiver works on all bands but the s meter works normaly only
on the first 2 bands,broadcast band and band 2 (1.6 to 5 mc). when I switch
to band 3 (5
to 15 mc) and bands 4, 5 and 6 i hear signals but the s meter indicates
zero. occasionally
there will be a very slight negative indication with the needle moving below
the zero. it
must be getting ok avc on the first 2 bands but not on the others. does
anyone have any
suggestions?
