Actually the note left inside the power supply about R10 also mentions R13:
"R10 voltage helipot should be 100K R13 ~ 62K. Replaced with 50K Heli 11/19/81 GPM".
I checked the existing R13 and its a 2K 1W 1% (red-black-black-brown, brown). I verified it by desoldering one side and indeed it reads 1.993K.
Seems like he was trying to compensate with R13 for the half value R10 potentiometer.
So I am wondering if this present setup would still cause the meter needle offset to the left without a load in the 12mA scale, as mentioned earlier? or do I still have some other problem I need to look into?
