Rebuilding a nice 116B tombstone from 1935. It's playing nice and loud now, but the shadowmeter isn't functioning properly. The pointer/flag doesn't move at all. It has a part number of 45-2083.
I've read the page on the Philco tips section and I've watched John's Corner of the Deck You Tube video about restoring shadowmeters. He remagnitized the one-inch metal horseshoe in his. This unit doesn't have the larger horseshoe piece. The pointer flag appears to move between a much smaller mechanism. Don't know if you could even get a magnet into it. The coil reads about 540 ohms.
Anyone had experience with this type of unit? Thanks, John.
