Steve, I'm not certain when Philco started adding the shunt resistor (external to display) but I have done radios with and without. It was added I suspect when engineers started realizing if the shadow meter coil opened the radio would die completely. The shunt would allow it to continue to operate. Not certain if they made a change in resistance of the coil when they added the shunt.
