Thank you to everyone who wrote to me to help with low sensitivity in my
'67 EAC receiver.
I found the problem. The slug on Z216-3 had broken off. I replaced it
with a spare that I had on hand and the set really came to life.
Sensitivity is now excellent on all bands.
I'm proud of this set. It's a St. Julien's survivor that had not been
touched since it was rescued from St. Julien's. When I got it, the
Oldham coupler on the PTO was disconnected and the filter caps were
shot. It even still had the yellow stripe on the front. However, it was
all there. On and off for the last few months, I've been working on it.
Now, at last, it performs like an R-390A.
Again, thank you to all who helped.
