Dear Friends
I have a Philco Tropic radio similar to the model 41-90CB, but mine has SW bands. This radio was working fine, but all of a sudden, it started to not tune in any AM radio stations
However, the aux input is working ok
What do you think it might be wrong?
I suspect a problem with inner antenna wiring
Thanks for your help
P.S. If anybody can identify the radio model, I'll appreciate it
Regards
Not tune in any AM station = no stations at all, rihgt?

Well, it could be anything. I doubt it is wiring: wires do not break off or desolder by themselves. It might be a coil or a tube from the RF section. Oscilaltor not working also = a bad coil.
So....if you could troubleshoot, break out your ohmmeter and buzz the coild through, and test the tubes from the RF and oscillator section.
Welcome. Looks like it might be one of these models'

Thanks for the info
If you post a pic of the back innards was can sort out which set it is.
The determining factor is the power supply. DC, AC/DC, or AC.
Thanks, I have the model number now
