Philco model 18 (code 121) - HELP!

Jerry- everything measured way off the charts above Ohms that I could read, except the Plate to coil which was zero of course. There is a wire on top of coil that I could not get to with my lead, so I followed the wire down to the Wave Band Switch and tried to measure ohms there. That was also way above 200k ohms (my highest setting).
So...that just leaves the shadow meter then, right? On the schematic the shadow meter looks like the symbol for a 'switch'. Can that thing be "ON" or "OFF"?
