[NJARC] Help with Philco Transitone 53-562

HI STEVE:

GLAD TO HEAR THE RADIO IS WORKING.

ORIENTING THE LOOP SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE DEPENDING UPON THE LOCATION OF THE TRANSMITTING STATION.

THIS IS WHERE A TUBE CHECKER CAN ELIMINATE THE WEAK TUBES.

A BAD FILTER CAP CAN ALSO REDUCE THE B+ AND GIVE A WEAKER SIGNAL AND AUDIO.

LOOKS LIKE YOU WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A SET OF ALIGNMENT TOOLS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE RESTORATION WORK.

YOU MAY ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM WITH THE IF TUNING SLUGS BEING FROZEN.
I SUGGEST USEING A SMALL DRYER TO HEAT THE CANS AS YOU TRY TO ADJUST THE SLUGS IN ORDER TO SOFTEN THE WAX.
