Hi, i've never encountered this. I completely recapped (everything) this Philco 20 (not 20A) since I started with no signal.  I have it working loud and clear but 1 major cavet. The only way i get a "loud and clear" reception is when I put my finger on the middle tuning screw of the variable capacitor.  this is rather inconvenient.  Otherwise i hear white noise.  I must have missed a grounding somewhere but just wondering if someone knew off the top of their head.  The cabinet is in great shape which i understand is not very common.  I followed George's advice and did not use electrolytics but rather 2 1MFD, and 1 2.2MFD non-polarized capacitors in the power supply (prior post).  Thanks, Rich
