Thanks for the tips. I’ve got the riders docs. They contain the same instructions as the Philco service manual. The manual on this site is more legible. Thanks to the guy that loaded all that stuff! I do have the same antenna connector but the leads are stapled to the cabinet - a simple dipole arrangement. My set picks up the 2 or 3 strong FM stations in my area but I am hoping with alignment I’ll be able to receive some stations in the Raleigh-Durham area about 70-90 miles away. On the other hand I am a little nervous about screwing up what I have - pretty fine sound out of the big 12” speaker. I think I’ll start like you and just adjust the tuning condenser and see what I get. If it’s not a lot better then I’ll adjust the IF. I’ll let you know how it works out.
