[Hallicrafters] SX-16 S Meter Questions

[Bill]

While I don't know the true meter movement value, the SX-17 meter
does rest to the right when off.  It will drop to the left when warmed up.
Schematically, the meter is series connected to the plate of the 6j7 DC
amplifier.  Don't' know if there is an internal shunt in the meter.  There
is a capacitor across the meter - value .005.

Hope this helps some.

Just a few questions regarding this meter.

Does the needle normally rest on the right side,  as the SX-17 and SX-25
meter needles do?

Would anyone know if there is an internal shunt in the meter.  I notice the
insulated area between the two terminals on the inside of the meter case
(where a coiled shunt would normally be)?

Should the receiver deliver the most milliamps to the meter when the
receiver is set up to zero the meter?   I am trying to determine the full
swing milliamp rating for this meter.

Thanks for your help. Ken
