Shadow Meter Question
#6

rewinding one is quite easy!!!  If I can do it so can you.  I did not remove the triangle shaped sheetmetal.  Take a measurement of the opening of the vane viewing area(the triangle looking horn), it should be 1/2 inch or so.  All I did was find a bolt head that was slightly larger than the triangle horn looking part of the meter.  Pushed the bolt in between the metal sides of the viewing area, then zip tied the bolt with washer and nut on securely.. With a washer and nut tight against the head of the bolt, the washer will stop the bolt from going too far inside the horn.  I could then insert the threaded end of the bolt into a drill.  My drill wasn't variable so I used a variac for speed.....very easy to do. 
  I have the later style shadow meter on the 37-630.  which has the triangle horn on it.  If thats the earlier style just fit  that round ridge next to the vane inside a pipe.  Then mount pipe to a drill.  I bought 8000 feet of wire and used a spool dowel that just fit perfectly in the spools hole.

I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
