Philco 40-180 Tracking Issue
#5

Don't quite understand. But no matter If the tracking getting better with the padder (#19) screwed clockwise then what you can do is add a bit more capacitance across it. Take two pieces of insulated wire abt 3" long remove a bit of the isolation from one end of each. Solder these ends the #19. Twist the insulated part of the wires together like 5 or 10 twists.The more twists the lower the stations will move down the dial. See if that improves the tracking.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
