Is the Philco 52 really lousy?

Yes, sorry. Icon_redface

Was rushing during lunch-break at my desk at work....

You still could have an open coil somewhere or the Sensitivity control (No.9) is not set right, according to the alignment procedure.

If turned down, it reduces the IF gain, if set to high, the IF can break into oscillation and cause signal blocking or squealing. The IF stage sensitivity control is actually a regeneration control to make the IF as high a gain as possible without breaking into oscillation.
