Can anyone ID this Shadow meter?
I think it may be Philco.
The brand and model # of the radio that used it
would be most helpful..

Thanks a bunch.

It doesn't look like a typical Philco shadow meter design.

Definitely not Philco. I've never seen a shadow meter with a scale; it's kind of like an early signal strength meter.

It MAY be a Radiotrope I'm looking for one if you're selling it provided the coil is good.
Post a size for the screen and I'll measure the opening when I get home-the shape looks right.

The M + 5-digit part number suggests RCA perhaps?

As I recall the one in my AK447 looked a lot like that one - without the scale.
