Philco similar to 41-90CB - Oscar Hernandez - 09-07-2020

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.

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.
