Philco FM tuning 47-1227
#1

All, After nearly a year of tinkering I've finally got my first radio restoration finished. The Philco 47-1227 had under gone a complete meltdown 35 years ago. The chassis looked like it had been hit with a blow torch. I found a used power transformer and recapped and re-wired the unit. When I fired it up I was surprised to find that it worked. However, I've got a weird FM tuning problem. The AM works great and when I sweep the dial from left to right I can pick up all the available stations, when I sweep the dial from right to left I also pick up all the stations. The FM is a different story, I can pick up all the stations when I sweep the dial from left to the right, but when I go from right to left the radio goes completely silent. Once I go to the left and change directions everything works again. I’ll pull it out of the cabinet tomorrow to see if I can find the problem. Any suggestions on where to look? As I mentioned earlier this is my first radio I've worked on.
Thanks in advance.
Keith
