I must be missing something. I can't get the shadow meter to deflect more than approx. 1/32 of an inch.

First of all, the meter seems O.K. The vane moves freely and recenters itself (it's an older style meter). I have tried 2 different 37 tubes, with no change. The voltage on the plate is correct, both 2 meg resistors are new,as is the #66 cap.

The vane is centered on a strong station. But when I go off-frequency, it moves, but just barely. And the padder, #61, has no effect at all. I'm not sure how much the voltage on the plate should vary, but it only changes about 2 vdc.

This is my first experience with a shadow meter, so I'm not that familiar with it, but it seems straight forward.

Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks,

Pat
