RJ, be real careful about opening a can of worms here. From your discription the problem may not be serious enough to risk making it worse by fooling with the dolby board.
The meters being off may be an adjustment. There is a procedure in the service manual to center them. If you are not using your 9090DB to add Dolby noise reduction to a tape recordings, the meter function is not critical. There are no Dolby FM broadcasts so that position of the switch is pretty much useless.
If you have normal, consistant stereo operation, and you don't use the Dolby function for recording tape, I wouldn't mess with the dolby board.
