Philco consul model 144X
#29

So the radio is working pretty good, I've replaced the rest of the wax paper caps, but a couple more things may need to be addressed. I noticed the large resistors get fairly hot and that they are also out of tolerance so I know I need to replace those. The shadow meter, all I get is a black view with a little light behind it, it does doesn't appear to be working correctly. On the low end of the band after a while it fades out but the upper part of the band on AM stays just fine. All the small resistors seem to be fine and very close to tolerance so I'm probably going to leave those for now. What should I look for on the shadow meter?
