I'm working on a Philco 37-630 console radio. The radio works, with except for the shadow meter. The bulb illuminates, but the meter stays dark.

I see the meter's operation is related to the arial which currently is about a 15 foot piece of speaker wire.

Would the first step be to replace the speaker wire with a proper antenna kit and go from there?

If the meter does need to be rewound, is there anybody out there who would be willing to do this? I've seen some pretty elaborate setups, and am hoping someone would be interested in providing this service to recoup some of the cost and effort they have invested.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug
