Weak/No Volume on FM Band - 51-934
#4

Ron; Thanks very much for your reply. I hooked up the dual leads to terminals 1 and 2 and the single lead to terminal 3. My set has the wire which is wrapped around the AC cord and I connected the end of it to terminal 1 also. With this setup I still cannot pull in any FM clearly; only can hear 1 very, very weak staion with the volume cranked up to full. I have an exterior antenna which I assume is supposed to be connected to the 2 fm terminals. I did align the am band and now get far more stations than before the alignment. So I figure maybe take a crack at aligning the FM band. This will be very difficult to do because it's hard to get my alignment tools at the openings of the tuning coils due to tight access even with the chassis pulled from the cabinet.

Andy
