box style shadow meter and magnetism woes
#12

Yes you'll want to manipulate the lamp bracket to get the best amount of deflection. Also turning the bulb's socket to rotate the lamp's filament position can give you a better looking and brighter shadow meter. The object is to align the filament to the slot at the rear of the sm. You could use a #44 lamp they are a bit brighter than the 47's.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
