Shadow-meters and dial scales revisited
#1

Ed(etech) and I discovered something interesting about shadow-meters. The ones used in/on the 116 sets(possibly others like the 660/665 or 680), measure out to 600 ohms, not 1200 like I commonly see posted. I assume it's due to the AVC voltage being double that of the lower sets like the 650. The p/n used on the 116s is as follows
45-2083

Also, a question for someone that knows for sure. Should the dial scale behind or in front of the upper bracket guides? These are two guides with in-dents on them. Seems it would work either way, except that when mounted on the inside of the guides, it pulls the scale in. I know the guides can be bent for proper alignment. But really, what's the skinny on this?

This photo should show clearly the relationship between the dial scale and the bracket guides.

The shadow mask goes behind the posts; the dial scale should be positioned between the posts and the flat guides.

That's what I wanted to be sure on, thanks Ron.

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
