1937 Coronado Model 650 Farm Radio
#23

Well I rigged up a temporary battery supply for this radio and the radio works...sort of.

I can get it to receive the 456 KC IF Frequency, but it comes in across the whole dial and not just around 550 KC where it should be, I also adjusted the IF cans and those were actually peaked out properly where they were supposed to be surprisingly enough, but the radio won't pick up any radio signals through the antenna leads, not even from my signal generator, which is weird because I had tested my Antenna Coil and it tested just fine inspite of having had a power cord wired up to it (the capacitor that went between the antenna coil and the antenna terminal I think was what saved the coil). 

I also attempted to adjust the antenna and oscilator adjustments on the Tuning Cap to no avail.

Any ideas as to what might be going on?
