Doug, When you first turn the radio on before the tubes have time to warm up, is the dark band wide or narrow? If the band is dark right from the start, the vane is probably stuck. If the dark band starts out narrow, then gets wide, the shadow meter is working. I would then try more antenna, also check the alignment. I don't think the coil is open, if it were, the radio will not work at all.
