What probably happed to my particular case is the cleaning process moved the
weights and I probably resorted their original position.

Is there any documentation about this topic? Some official book? Admittedly
I have not Googled the subject just yet.

Yes - my favorite reference is NavShips EIMB TM&Ps - which in civilian
language is: US Navy's Electronics Installation & Maintenance Books;
Test Methods and Practices - my particular copy was published in
January, 1964- and carries NAVSHIPS 900,000.103. Section 5: Care,
Repair and Calibration of Test Equipment, subsection 5-2d(4) covers dial
pointers, zero adjusters, etc.; and section 5-2d(6) covers balance
weight tests; 5-2e(1a-c) balance weight adjustments (various types of
meter construction); 5-2e(2) Zero Adjustment; 5-2e(3) Pivots; 5-2e(3a)
turning, lapping, etc. of pivots; 5-2e(3b) End-Play Adjustments; 5-2e(4)
care and feeding of the hairsprings; and finally: 5-2(f-k) - calibrating
meter movements of various types - including charging/discharging the
movement's magnet.

The EIMB library consists of several volumes:
900,000.1 Communications
900,000.2 Radar
900,000.3 Sonar
900,000.4 Test Equipment
900,000.5 Radiac
900,000.7 Countermeasures
900,000.100 General
900,000.101 Installation Standards
900,000.102 Electronic Circuits
900,000.103 Test Methods and Practices *
900,000.104 Reference Data *
900,000.105 RF Interference Reduction

The two marked with an asterisk I consider two of most valuable books in
my library - they are of great value to anyone with a more than casual
interest in vintage / tube electronics (IMHO).

Are these manuals "findable" obtainable?

Yes, I've seen various versions of them on ebay from time to time.
There is a "extract" of a more modern revision he

http://www.phy.davidson.edu/instrumentation/NEETS.htm

Go to Module 21. Module 19 contains extracts of Reference Data...
though the full original is (IMHO) much more useful for those interested
in vintage stuff. These are part of the Navy's NEETS training - an
introductory course into electronics -so unfortunately - they don't go
into much depth. Module 19 does contain much reference data though -
useful to almost everyone - and as they are in PDFs (almost) everyone
can download them for free.

TM&P's "real" Navships number is 0967-000-0130 and Reference Data's
"real" Navships number is 0967-000-0140.
