Interesting idea to use another radio to align the antique with. I wonder why I didn't try that before. I should give it a try. I know this radio isn't tracking quite right (mostly because station 820am comes in clearly at ~570am on the dial and at the lower end of the dial I just get a steady buzz). However, other than the numbers being off and the inability to listen to the lowest parts of the dial, I can at least get what 'I' want, which is NPR on 820am, even if it is slightly off.

I'll definately keep the radio-to-radio alignment in thought as I finish up my philco. I've got two capacitors on order, the dial plate at the print shop, and the decals en route from tubes & more. I've resoldered the wires that were in really bad shape, recapped all but the electrolytics (which are the ones on orders) and checked the resistors (which read within ~15% of their rated values). The tubes, at least preliminarily, appear good. So hopefully I'll get this sucker put together and we'll see how it works...
