Philco 37-670 Shadow Meter Woes
#12

Very helpful - thanks! So likely my magnet is there and simply needs to be "recharged".  Did you remove your magnet, or was it a previous owner?  It also appears that your coil has been rewound.  Mine is OK. It appears that to remove the coil I need to straighten the bent over tabs holding the lamp bracket and remove the bracket.  The coil and magnet looks like it can then slide off.  I suppose I then melt the wax and remove the magnet for recharging.  I have seen the recharging procedure on-line.  I have several powerful magnets available for stroking my magnet from one end to the other in the same direction, and check attraction using a pin or other small object. IIRC you said your magnet was reattached using a dab of hot glue.

While disassembled, I assume I need to check for proper vane movement.

If you did your repairs yourself, please confirm the procedure outlined above. 

Thanks again, Dave
