Stromberg-Carlson model 130R
#1

I just finished up the chassis on this set and did an alignment as shown in the service information below:

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...021331.pdf


The radio plays great and the dial is right where it should be on the A band or broadcast....except I cannot get the local station which is at 1470 kc to come in! Everything else is where it should be. I did the alignment procedure several times just to be sure and each time had the same results.

BUT....

1470 comes in loud and clear at the beginning of the B band!

I think because the two bands overlap (A covers 540 to 1500 kc, and B or the police band covers 1450 to 3500 kc), the very high end of the broadcast band comes through on the police band!

This is the only radio I have with that phenomenon.

Set your band switch to a A dial to 1470kc and find where your local osc is. Should be at 1935kc. If not align osc trimmer to put it there.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
