is the vane stuck? did you replace the bulb? I've got a 38-5 & mine is working. I could measure the resistance in the coil if you like, I don't remember what it was off hand. by the way.. it's a bit of a chore to "adjust" the light and projection on these. also, you might want to buy a handful of 44 bulbs for it. you want to find the bulb with the flattest filament and make sure it's vertical to the slit in the back of the shadow meter. otherwise the shadow will be blurry.
