The Shadow Meter does, indeed, respond to AVC action, indirectly as the front-end tube's plate current swings. The meter is in the B+ line to these tubes. Therefore, unless the set is accurately aligned and has a suitable antenna, the average AVC voltage will not be lage enough to show a reasonable shadow movement. Also, due to age, the bias magnet in the shadow meter may be weak and also contribute to "weak" movement.


See the Service Tips page on the Shadow Meter on my site.
