Well i'm convinced the rattle and distortion is caused by the volume control. I took it apart and cleaned it but it is heavily worn inside around where the wiper goes. The distortion first starts after a 1/4 volume and the starting point is very noticeable. So I'm trying to get ahold of Mark for a new control. Hope he responds soon.

So now I'm trying to get the shadow meter to function. I have a model 4319 / Philco part number 6497-Y. The coil measures 830 ohms and the movement is free.

I've been using the guide on Chuck's site to try to repair it but my shadow meter doesn't have a horse shoe magnet below the coil. It has a straight thin bar 1/4" × 3/4" x 1/16" thick. It is not magnetic or no longer magnetic. Is it supposed to be magnetic and if so how can I get it that way again?
