Is that an iron-core choke or a tapped inductor? Your schematic shows a tapped choke symbol.

DC cannot flow thu the circuit as drawn. The meter is essentially in limbo with only one INPUT termimal with a DC connection. Check the placement of that cap. It may be a bypass cap and not a coupling cap???

A Shadow Meter movement can only respond to D.C. current.
