Quick and easy test Mortz, take and loosen the chassis mount screws on the left side of the radio (looking from the front) and slip a wedge of some type under that side from the back to essentially raise that side. Should not have to be raised more than perhaps 1/2 mm as the shift in location of the dial will be magnified by it's height above the chassis. Set it where your dial is centered. If all looks good, you will need to shim up the chassis grommets on that side a tad. This is where the really soft compliant chassis grommets are nice as they have a wide range of compression and you can "dial" chassis placement through adjusting the tension on them.
This should also help with your shadow meter alignment.

Philco 46-1209 strange behavior

| No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up.
Yes, an internal tube short could do that too.
