Jerry, As Ron explained to me, I must be picking up 2nd or an odd 3rd harmonics or be close to the transmitters, or something. (Perhaps I did something when I rewired the radio with 20ga stranded, instead of 22ga solid????) As for it being "proper", it can't be, but I still pick up a minimum of 8 fm stations, (12 if I "tweak" the antenna) from about 88-101 mhz. (Yes, by ear) They sound quite good (but drift a little bit, sometimes, but seems dependent upon antenna positioning. A couple stations don't drift, nary 'tall! I think I should be able to lock it down with a modern antenna, maybe). Mine may not be "stellar performers", but they still kick proverbial a@@! I will be leaving this territory in the next couple of weeks, so my "radio days" will be drawing to a close, for now. (You may all jump for joy, and throw a big party!!! ![Icon_e_biggrin Icon_e_biggrin](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif) ) When I come back to it, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll have the equipment! May be awhile, though. Don't hold your breath!

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM |
