<p>Nathan,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Great job on your AW-12 restoration. I am very impressed with your attention to detail. Very impressive you took the time to make a new dial pointer. It looks spot on to the original!</p>

<p>Thanks Robert! Yes - it's a very sensitive set and sounds great. I'm really enjoying it now that it has moved from the workshop to the house. :)</p>

<p>I measured the remaining bit of tuning indicator wire as <span style="font-weight: 400;">0.64mm (=0.0252") in diameter.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/>I'm still missing the tuning meter of course - will post a wanted ad for that, although if it's anything like with the shadow meters Philcos they're not all that easy to come by on their own.</span></p>

<p>Good news that your radio played during the test power up.</p>
<p>As per Mike's comment, on my AW-12, that stiff wire is secured to the back of the bottom of the dial mechanism. </p>
<p>The stiff wire is supposed to be "L" shaped at the top and adjusted so as to cast a horizontal shadow onto the opaque white dial strip to show the dial setting. The horizontal shadow is stationary while the turning the dial knob, as the dial strip rotates up or down past the shadow. The horizontal shadow should appear about mid way in the dial escutcheon when the radio is in the cabinet. When you have that shadow where it should be, then it is time to make final dial calibration. Changing the dial lamp position on the stalk affects the shadow of the dial. My AW-12 is very accurate from end to end of the broadcast band.</p>
<p>The meter shadow (when you obtain a meter) will display as a small vertical shadow above the horizontal shadow. The dial light may need adjustment to control where the shadow falls on the dial strip. The tuning meter needle shadow moves left or right to indicate signal strength. </p> Thanks Mike - that makes a lo…tag:ehscott.ning.com,2019-05-26:3925821:Comment:724872019-05-26T14:25:38.936ZNathan Slingerlandhttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/NathanSlingerland

<p>have a look at john ketrons photo's restoring an allwave fifteen, in the photo's section on this site, photo#61 shows the dial with lamp tuning meter and scale, yours will be very similar.</p>
