So, finally, after months of procrastination...I revisited this Philco 70 tonight and realigned the set, now using my B+K function generator.
Results: MUCH, MUCH better. The IF alignment was really close as was the high end RF. But the low frequency padder was WAY off.
Now, the radio picks up stations up and down the dial with ease and AVC seems to be working quite well indeed. No, it isn't an RCA 10K, or even a T8-14, but it is doing much better than it was before.
I might post a video later if I get a chance to do so.
