While I was continuing to look for the culprit for my line voltage adjustment, I checked the meter resistance and it is 50 ohms. The meter checks electrically ok, but does get stuck some times. I had remembered when I was working on a EICO VTVM (this was a 221) that that meter was 50 ohms. I got the 221 and looked it over and except for the dial face its looked the same. I pulled it out of the meter and It is identical. I put the eico meter in the tube tester and its the same. unfortunately its the same meaning I still get the high reading, but it does solve the getting stuck issue.
