What happens if you flip it around?
Are you using the pm unit with the EM one still in place? If so, residual magnetism in it could be throwing things off a little.
Does the EM unit have solder lugs where the leads attach? If so, it is likely you can spot the break, because it'll usually occur right where the fine coil wire joins the lug.
