Need Help With 46-200
#1

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum and am restoring my first tube radio, a Philco Transitone 46-200. I have replaced all the capacitors with new equivalents and replaced the bad tubes. The radio lights up, but only picks up one station at a very very low volume. If I giggle the original antena the station fades out completely. I tried attaching a modern antenna and as well as cleaning and re soldering the leads to the original and only got nothing. Any advice or theories to correct this problem would be most appreciated.

Thank you,
Anthony Knoll
