I have a Philco model 47-1227. It has been completely restored. All capacitors and resistors have been replaced. The audio works. We get sound from the record player but unable to tune in any stations. Have minis 2.5 volts at osc. tube. osc. tube does not change voltage when tuning dial is changed. No am or fm. Any ideal what's wrong? HELP!!!!!!!!?!

Time to break out the signal generator and inject a modulated 455kc signal @ test point A. This is w/the set set up to receive an AM signal and see what you get from the spkr.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Ok so you have a problem around the 6BA6. Check the pin voltages according t o the service info. Also be sure the heater is lit.
