Philco 38-5 shadow meter
#4

You do not need any secial bulb. The checking and adjusting proceures, as well as troubleshooting are all in that article on Chuck's website.

Make sure your

1. Coil has resistance (in 1 or 2 kOhm range)
2. Vane moves freely (take the cover off and gently touch the vane, see if it moves)
3. Your magnet is magnetized. The pocedure of re-magnetizing is available at the same place.

Some Advice: when you ak many-many questions at once, you scare yourself. Get methodical, follow the procedure, do not try to think many steps ahead as you simply do not know the answers, it might be something simple.
