Good question, I was thinking that it would just drop to 0.
Without any electricity applied, if I pull the needle up to 6000 with my finger and let go, it takes about 1/4 second to drop to 0, but it bounces off the zero a bit and makes a faint click.
It may very well turn out that 5 second increments are more realistic, or that it won't drop to zero fast or quietly enough, we'll just have to see. Right now I am trying to find a signal generator with a square output. My '40s navy model only makes sine waves, but it is soooo sweet with its air capacitor sweep knob.
