Morzh, great idea for the philco bakelite stuffing. you should get a prize for that one - made the job SO simple. I'm glad i found it.
I have re-traced my steps over and over. outwardly it looks ok. I think it has to do with alignment. My oscillation is screaming. However, i can't get any alignment when i try to tune at 1400. All i hear is hum. no wire connections are bad. the antenna is not detecting anything. I am so mad - i had a perfectly good radio til i decided to take apart and clear that tuning capacitor. i've checked over and over and the plates are not touching. I tried following the procedure in the schematic but the 1400 tuning is only hum. I had a great signal before so i believe the coils are fine.
