OK...I've gone through and done everything the best I can figure out... I spent a good few hours tonight aligning, aligning and aligning... I first set up the two cans, tuned them to 470kc, as indicated by the schematic.

I went through the best I could following the directions. I basically tuned each tuning condensor until I found the signal, and then tweaked for loudest/best tone, until I had that nice tone loud, clear, and strong, on each. (I did not have the variable capacitor of 350 ohm to jumper in for one step) Still nothing much. SO I swap a few tubes. AM(Broadcast) still rewards me with pops, shrieks, and whistles to blow the ear drums out. SW 1 gives me nothing. I am cursing it, its parents, etc.

SW 2 gives me something! The very first thing I receive is around 6mc. I tune it in, and bring up the volume. It is a church program about perserverance and faith. Ok. Very funny. Very apropos. World Harvest Radio strikes again... lol... About the only other thing I managed to get was the word "communist" and I lost that signal(was around 10mc)

I'm running out of ideas here!

Anybody want to stop by? I'll give you a free truckload of genuine "Storm of '06" snow! I just want it to work right....(whimper)

Ideas?

Old Cars, Old Radios, Old Pipes and Young Women... What more is there?
