The needle travel isn't restricted. If it's on zero, I can tap the front and it will gently swing over to the stop. If it's at full scale for a moment, it will start to drift up to the top stop. If I reduce the meter current, the needle starts down and overshoots the full scale mark. It just won't stay on full scale or on zero. Well, it will stay on zero more often than not but I have to tap the meter sometimes for it to do that. When I tap it, it moves smoothly. Better than tapping is to move the entire meter so the pointer's inertia moves it.
