I've bought a few Philco parts from a guy on another forum.. I'll look up his user name if you like..

Yes, about the only way the damage could happen is someone stuck something in the front, perhaps to see if the vane was free to move.  Thanks to the photos provided by Mike, I may try to take it apart and repair it by attaching a thin piece of metal. I'll have to check if the existing vane (other side) is ferrous or not.  I have some very thin brass, but I don't know if I have very thin and light iron/steel. Or I could try to obtain another meter with a bad coil, since my coil and magnet are OK.  

Thanks to all that have helped!
