I am trying to adjust the shadow meter on an early 16B. I have read and reread Philco Repair Bench instructions on doing this but one question remains- how do I get hold of the dang coil to move it back and forth and rotate it? I had to take the bottom off just to get enough grip on it to prove to myself that it actually will move. Is there a tool that fits in the small slots on the side of the coil? Thanks folks,
Doc
