another shadowmeter question?
#1

... was wondering if any good drawings, specs, of the later model (smaller) Philco Shadowmeter including escutcheon assemblys exists in JF Riders ?? Also, was the orig shadowmeter "lens", a clear or frosted pc of thin plastic, or what was the orig color? As you can tell, this is my 1st rodeo with this "orig missing" escutcheon and its associated correct mounting assembly!! All I have here on this old chassis, is the shadowmeter itself with orig wiring harness looking for a good place to call home!! In fact, I may even have to cut my own "view slot" in another Philco regular escutcheon, and add holding clips via "homemade" version!! A very steady hand,"dremmel tool"& JB weld can work wonders if used very carefully on cutting slots in thin metal!! Since my odds are well against my favor of ever finding a orig Philco shadowmeter escutcheon, any tips & info for creating a "one-off retrofit" would be much appreciated! Do clear "illustrations" of orig part & assembly even exist if needed? Just wondering. Randal
