I recently bought a 1952 8N in pretty good shape. The Proofmeter showed 2008 hours, but wasn't working. I discovered the cable inside the sheath was missing, but the proofmeter gear on the governor was spinning. Put a new cable on, but still no movement on the tachometer needle. Instead of just buying a new proofmeter, I decided to take the original apart, clean it, then put a new face decal on. The insides were stuck pretty bad, but I eventually got almost every piece off, cleaned up, put back on, and oiled. Now, the tachometer needle works great, but the hour dial does not move. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here - or should I just get a new proofmeter?

TIA,
Dan
