Hi again Ron and Gary. Well, once again you guys were right on. I checked the tuning plates and sure enough there were 3 that appeared to be very slightly bent one way or the other. I very slightly adjusted all 3 and wallah Icon_surprised , instant reception on all bands on all frequencies Icon_biggrin ! The radio reception is now good on all 5 bands left to right and it sounds great!

I wish I could say that this one has been a lot of fun...it has, but it has also been frustrating at times. But it was a real learning experience and I now already have my next project, a Philco model 51 recapped and it has great reception and sounds great as well!

Well, thanks again for your help. I'm sure I will be back soon for more guidance on a new project. Sonny 8)
