Oh, the radio works a charm.. it's just that low end of the SW dial. Swapped in another 6A7 tonight, didn't change much, if anything, it got a little further off. Still great reception. If I wasn't a perfectionist when it comes to dial calibration, I'd just leave it at that. Will try cleaning the trimmer and see what happens. I'd hate to have to pull that coil, this one's the nastiest Philco I've ever seen for coils. Someone changed the coil in the mixer section some time ago, and it looks like they just cut the wires off long enough so they could splice in the replacement coil.
