https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...il-rewind/  (the photo links in this one are not currently active .... we are looking into it but there is also a nice set of info on shadow meters here: https://www.philcorepairbench.com/shadow...justments/  )


I moved this into the Electronic Restoration section.
Cheers,
Bob
