The Philco 39-30 progress
#4

Okay, at this point in time, here is what's happening with this..... It doesn't receive any stations AM or SW.

(Power & audio transformers rewired, caps replaced, dial lamp rewired and much rubber wire replaced.)

The voltages match the schematic closely through out the radio.
The audio section is working ok.
A 470kc (if freq.) signal injected at the Antenna terminal is heard from the speaker.  Volume control works.

The local oscillator ( am ) runs and can be heard on a test (am)  radio.

So I hook a longwire to the antenna terminal and no stations are heard AM or SW.  I will continue roubleshooting.
