Fix a drifting Stringmeter

If you’re one of those stringers who uses a Stringmeter, you know that after years of use, your Stringmeter can start to slip, and gauge settings drift when you twist the tool to take a reading. The solution is to remove the outer measurement ring, take some Akempucky or other stringer’s wax and coat the running grooves for the ring. Replace the ring and you’re done. The wax provides enough friction to keep the stringmeter settings where you put them, making your meter good for a few more years.
