PHILCO 38-7 1660 doesn't play well
#1

I have just restored a Philco 38-7 console radio. Cabinet looks great, chassis looks good and I took it to a friend who got the radio to work--he has an excellent reputation in this field and he has done wonders with my other radios I have taken to him. Anyway, the radio stations came in very clear at his house. I took the radio home, put it back in the cabinet and now the only radio station that doesn't come well at all is the one I wanted to listen to most (1660 Classical in KC). Do I have a trimmer problem or is the problem with the antennae? I have a Philco 41-280 inside my house (the 38-7 is in the garage) that picks up 1660 very well. I don't get this. Should I try to ground it better? Should I try to install an internal wave magnet ant like other Philco's have and see if that works? I am at a loss here. Thanks for any suggestions or tips and how to solve this.
