When the set is powered up, you should be able to see it go to S1 with no signal.?
Unlike the meters in the Twins, these meters do have a mechanical zero setting BUT you will need to remove it from the panel and remove the cover. I don¡¯t like doing this because it seems that ANY messing with these meters can turn them into ¡°bouncers¡±.

That S meter is so close to useless that it simply does not matter where it rests at zero signal. It simply tells you, ¡°This guy is loud¡± and ¡°That guy is not loud¡±.
