Sorry I can't be of more help, but the only Shadow Graphs I've messed with were A.K. and Zenith, and all of those S.G.'s basically worked when I got the sets.

Thank you John.

This looks like it was the first type Shadow Meter they had on the 16B. They did change it fairly quick.
The one I have, it seems the horseshoe Magnet is 1/2 the thickness and the later Versions. Like shown on the YouTube Video.


What bothers me is that the armature does not respond to any magnet.
I will wait, maybe the tiny magnets I ordered will fit better.
Looking real close at mine . The Armature is not aligned with the end of the Horseshoe at one end. The other end is aligned perfect.  Also I see rust on the tips of the Horseshoe I have.

Nothing to loose here. If the new Magnets do nothing I will attempt micro surgery Icon_eek

Mean while I am in need of a complete Shadow Meter.
Will Post

Thanks for the help
