There is adjustment on most shadow meters, Atwater Kent, Zenith, but Philco is a bit different. On the others, the coil can slide front and back and also rotate slightly. These adjustments are made to make the meter more sensitive. I don't remember if any of this applies to a Philco, but you might look.
