Thanks to Tony Underwoood for pointing out the zero-adjustment tab.  A 
black wire goes from the circuit board to the back side of the movement 
itself.  The wire is connected to a tab which is also connected to the rear 
spring mechanism.  Rotating the tab rotates the initial (non-energized) 
direction of the pointer.  After I zeroed the movement, I applied a 250Hz, 
0-12V square wave and adjusted the tach for 5000 rpm.  I double checked 
with my old Heathkit tach that also read 5000 rpm on the button.  So I'm 
back in business.  Thanks to all who responded, especially Tony.
