Well, your best bet outside of either buying a new one or OH the one you have is to open it up and spray some SPF-50 into it.
It takes it sometime to work its magic, but providing you don't have any "real Mechanical" defects it will fix the problem.
Keep in mind that its not an approved repair or any other "proper" repair but since we are dealing with an experimental or Ultralight you can do as you wish.
I am a recent convert to the Spf-50 and Corrosion-X treatments and I can say this, it has corrected some anomalies to include the keyboard on this current HP Laptop of about 8 years of usage. Among "other" things.

Hello folks,
Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a sticking altimeter? I know the obvious suggestion is buy a new one. Probably will do that. It is sticking around 500 ft. That is kinda where I spend a lot of time. Must have wore the mechanism out there. It will come unstuck with a few taps or with enough gain in altitude.
We stay in a very humid and wet environment. I think the guts have rusted or something.
Just wondering if there are I tricks out there for this?
Looking at AS&S for new altimeter. Trying to work on squawk list for MV. Yesterday, flew 2.3 hours with 9 cross wind landings (15 knots) to build up my wind threshold for the trip out west. Trying to get ready.
Appreciate any help or suggestions. Stay safe.

Thanks too much,
