My shadow meter looks original to me.. I believe the wax dried out and flaked off.. the taps don't look like anything has been done..
Also my magnet just does attract the blade of a very small screw driver.. I opted to leave it alone , for fear of breaking the taps or the coil.. I would rather have it as is than to have to fix it or worse, find another.. I brought my philco back to playing condition and that's as far as I wanted to go..
