Hopefully the panel meter itself is OK.

I missed your post earlier, and you're right, all of the diodes I tested (couldn't find the 5th Silicon) were fine. It was a case of bad electrolytics, dirty pots, and an out of cal meter.
Now it reads fairly accurately.
I'm not sure if the Cutoff test works though. The meter didn't go anywhere on the test, adjusting the G2 knob. Not sure what's going on there...
The CRT on the GE tests fine - low end of 'GOOD' which I think is pretty decent for a 65 YO
