Check connections, try a different mic, etc.

I've had 2 29s that had the meter just randomly stop working after a couple months. The meter is junk anyway, just use an external and check it every couple of weeks.

Chances are good its simply a bad meter. Its easy enough to check for a tech. Just hook up the fluke

Wow.
Some of you need to learn how to troubleshoot without being there. exOTR, got some of it right but come on, rabbi ... explaining how it is calibrated?
There were two questions that needed to be asked, but you assume from the op's single line that it is a bad meter.
1 - has anything changed from the last time it was working?
2 - do you hear people and do people hear you?
A broken meter could mean a broken receive.
When the op said it worked on and off, is that just the meter or the entire radio. -
You need new reading glasses. The OP said the needle does move some when he shakes the radio, so it isn’t stuck. Possibly a bad or cold solder joint could be the problem. I doubt it had anything to do with the radios alignment. -
I'm not experienced I was only a tech for Motorola at a National Service Center for 14 years.
