Any way to bypass a missing shadow Meter on a philco 37-360?
It is the later version meter.

The coil is about 800-1000 ohms. The value isn't very critical.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

It's a code 125.It looks like the radio should work without the meter in place.
I am correct??
TKS!!

I didn't see a resistor across the meter in the diagram. You can check the screen grid voltage on the IF amp and the mixer. If it's very low you need the resistor.
