Philco Model 80
#7

Thanks for all the input, guys.

After letting the cleaner evaporate and realigning, the radio works like it did prior messing with these screws. However, the overall sensitivity is still less than I'd like. We live in an area of relatively weak radio reception but other radios with 5 or 6 tubes had no trouble strongly receiving many stations.

I'm guessing my radio's performance is probably what is to be expected with a 4 tube set and relatively weak signal strength. Am I missing anything? Does anyone know of any tricks to enhance the Model 80's performance?

Thank you, I appreciate all of your knowledge and willingness to share.

Don
