When I rotate the knob, the needle jumps way right or stops short of the set line. No amount of finese helps. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I can sometimes adjust the transmitter power to get around it. It's a good case of "you get what you pay for." It's a cheap meter--cheaply made.

These are cheap little Meters. Very finicky. Yours sounds like it is faulty. My suggestion would be to return it for a new one.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

I would try contacting the company. When the knob kept falling off of the turning handle, they sent me a whole new part, though it did take me several tries before they responded.

Did you turn the knob to on , if not do so . And if you have turn the knob both ways and still nothing then something is wrong. Remember turn knob all the way.

The knobs are a little hard to turn at first. They will loosen up with use. Just give them a hard twist. That should work.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

It's probably just stuck. Pull the round knob gently and it should come loose and work fine.

If you are referring to the tuning knob, mine is still good. Sorry thatI could not help!

Yeah you might want to send it back or call the provider. If it's not defective it may just be the needle.

The lowest setting is not low it is off. Turn knobs all the way to left is off

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

I would return it for a replacement if you have any concerns with the product. Mine was stuck for a moment at the "zero" mark, but using it for a while eventually got it to "unstick". I don't think my situation was the same as yours though, because I think my issue was simply the needle just not responding. I have heard of the needle getting stuck. Google a solution, or return for a replacement. Hope that helps.

Stuck Knob Solution here! Hello, I had the same problem and found the perfect solution online (for just $2.99): In order to fix this problem you just need a larger knob which provides the extra leverage needed to (effortlessly) turn the knob. The original knob should come off easily by wiggling and pulling at the same time. The knob is attached to a 1/4'' shaft so any larger knob that fits a 1/4'' shaft will do fine. I used one from radio shack (Model: 274-407), which was 1/4'' shaft and it also contained a micro screw that you can tighten to ensure a snug fit. This knob slightly covers the labels (ALT,VS IAS, etc) but because these values show up on the screen as you tune to them, it's no big deal for me. Btw, I attempted to contact Saitek for a solution and shocker! -No Response.

Never had mine do that. I adjust the legs if it is crooked. Then play with those thinwires around the neck to adjust the width of the spray circle. there are two thinwires around the neck. Perhaps yours are together somehow. If that is thecase the adjust the wires by pulling them around. One should allow the sprayer to go left and the other to right.

Make sure the steel cable between the two is on the "track" and adjust the knob under the foot rests - it may need to be tighter, if too tight, you can hardly make it work. Took me a couple of tries to get it right - go to the "+" side first. Hope this helps.

Ensure you follow the instructions. Remove the white plastic bit from the arm so that the needle can show. And did you turn the screw all the way in?
