I was able to remove the coil and shadow mechanism with kid gloves. I even attempted to magnetize the metal on each side of the pointer/flag. I also put a drop of WD-40 on the pivot of the pointer. It moves freely. Reassembled. The shadow appears a bit wider now, but no cigar. It still doesn't move when going on and off stations.

I'm attaching a photo of the unit inside. I placed red lines on the photo where I rubbed a magnet over the metal. When the magnet was placed at those points the pointer would immediately pull to that area.

Was just wondering. Could that piece be brass instead of metal? Could it be attracting the pointer by a different method? A magnetic field instead of a magnetized piece of metal?
