Thanks
Well, I hooked up the shadow meter in the 29x I’ve been working on and it doesn’t seem to work. Out of the circuit, I get a reasonable deflection when a 9v battery is applied, but nothing with it in the radio. I measure around 6.8v from the leads going to the meter when on a station (in the radio) and 8.5v off. The radio appears to receive well otherwise and I’ve done a full alignment. These voltages don’t seem right, but I don’t know what I did wrong…not sure what I’m missing. Thoughts?

Jon
