I have a console 630 but no clips, well just finally got a table top37 630 and it has the clips. Well the clips dont hold the shadow meter tightly against the back of the dial face. I can move the shadow meter forward and back about 1/8 inch. Am I missing parts or do these clips get distorted over the years from removal?
I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
