Hickok 539A tube tester -- Fix or ditch?

I've been going through my stash and looking to get rid of some items that I either don't use or don't need. Since I have a 539C and a TV-7 tube tester, the 539A rose to the top of the list.

I powered it up and it seemed ok, but then, it wouldn't move the meter for the mutual conductance test. I checked gas and the meter itself definitely works but not when I press P4.

I haven't used this tester in quite a while and it worked fine and matched my tests on the 539C when I last used it. Now, it seems to be broken. So, my options are to find someone to fix and calibrate it or to just cut my losses.

Who might I contact on repairs? Any suggestions on simple problems that I should check before sending it out for repair?

Thanks!
