I replaced both light bulbs and she’s humming away nicely. However, I do have a shadow meter problem and I’ve watched a few youtube videos to try and see what can be done.

Last week I took it apart and attached a small 9 volt battery to the contacts as I tapped the lead to the battery. It seemed to move each time. Then, when I hooked everything back up it worked a bit, then sporadically, then didn’t work at all.

I took apart the shadow meter again to take a look. No broken leads, both were hooked up to the two wires. The 9 volt battery trick didn’t work at all this time. I blew at the vane and it seemed to move about freely. This leads me to believe that the coil has a break.

The wires are super thin, like smaller than a hair it looks like. Can I buy a small coil like this? Or do I need to re-wire this thing????

Thanks.
