1936 RCA 5T
#18

Well I got it going! I managed to find in one of my old junker radios an older Mallory 15 MFD 450VDC Dry Electrolytic cap that was still good yet and I wired it into the radio and did a complete realignment of this radio (the alignment was WAY OFF on this thing, to the point that the RF and and Antenna adjustment screws for tyhe 1700 KC adjustments required several turns before it would peak out, the same for the IF trimmers, now its to the point that with just a simple indoor long wire antenna hooked up (a 20' length of zip wire) the radio on the AM band is picking up stations all over the band spread!

All I did was replace the filter caps and one paper cap and one resistor, otherwise its working on almost all original components, and the AVC is working flawlessly as it should.
