Hi Terry thanks for your reply. When the pushbutton for manual is engaged it seems to be worse, meaning that I don't even hear static. If all push buttons are out at least I can get fairly loud static.I have played with each push button cap (there are capacitors with screws and little pieces of mica in between), all intact. I have a 1938 Grunow sitting right next to it, also with just a couple of external wires for an antenna (no loop) and that gets stations just fine with my external antenna wire. I wish I had a signal generator. Yes there are many rotted rubber wires. I don't think there are any shorts I've gone over this set carefully, but I could be wrong.
