If not too big, just breathe on it. The moisture in your breath will take the static charge away. Or you can just wipe it with a damp cloth. We have VU meters in audio that do the same thing. But most level meters now-a-days are solid state plasma displays or LED's. FrediFizzx |

Wipe as needed. Also removes dust. Mark L. Fergerson Yup, works for me. I use it on my monitors and my TVs. Help reduce the dust buildup on the surface also.

Reminds me of the time I did some radio work on four RCL cruise ships.
They each had a very impressive instrument panel in the engine room. On every one of those panels was rigged up a simple plumb-bob on a three foot string. I guess the engineers didn't put a lot of faith in the guages!

Just lightly wipe the surface with a weak solution of household laundry
fabric conditioner/softener periodically! This has solved probs for me.

dish detergent on a cotton cloth wiped across the face will work also. CL
