Good luck. If anything, while you have the tester still together, put a voltmeter across the meter and measure voltages in operation. Primarily when the instrument is going to have a known reading. Such as filament voltage, or line calibration.

If I had to guess, I'd say the meter is basically a DC voltmeter, but I'm only guessing.

Funny enough, my mother used to rebuild meter movements for the Simpson meter company. Of course that was ages ago. I honestly doubt you'll be able to find any meter parts now... hell you probably couldn't find them then.

Are you absolutely certain the meter is kaput? Maybe a drop of oil would fix it. Other than that, I can only assume this instrument has a lot of miles on it.
