RCA WV-120B Schematoc Needed
 

I picked up one of these "over there" and it works, but when I
transmit
on SSB the needle wavers back and forth quite a bit. Now, my AC Line
is not moving, so I wonder if it's picking up RF ??

Anyone have the schematic for this meter ?

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

Hi, I have had one of these RCA expanded-scale AC voltmeters
for more than 20 years, and the jiggling meter effect
is the same on mine. I assume the very underdamped meter
starts swinging every time a neighbor's refrigerator
compressor kicks on or off.

I'll second the motion of others with the use of 409 or Fantastic.
Where I do NOT use these cleaners is on the inner frequency calibration
dials of most equipment. For these, I use warm water and perhaps a bit
of diluted dish detergent. Another step I use is to wax the front panel
with Turtle Wax to get a uniform finish. Do this before reinstalling
all the knobs. For wrinkle cabinets, etc., Armour All does quite well.

Heh, that multi-tabbed browsing does that to me too ;-)
