Hi folks,
I just got another Philco in my collection a model B711 from 1954.
The problem is it only picks up one station which is 620 KC. It will absolutely need a complete recap.
Hi Pete

Does the clock work? If so...it would be neat to use as it was originally intended, as a bedside radio with alarm clock...
Yep, the clock works.
So have you tried the align the set?? And have you tested the tubes?? Both can give you poor performance.
Terry
Nope, I didn't try alignment. Don't have the proper equipment. And I don't even have a tube tester but I did try tubes from another Philco with the same tube lineup.
