Methinks you need to replace the choke to supply the hv to the osc section. Let me see what I can find out abt it.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Well the generally consensus is that it should be abt 3Mh. I have some 2.5Mh jobs but the current rating is much higher than what you need and physically they're fairly large. Can you take a pic of the one that's in there now?

Here is the choke and at the bottom of the tube is the resistor that should read 33000 but reads 46000.

The choke arrived today. After replacing most of the resistors and installing the new choke I have full am reception including WSM Nashville! Just need a better antenna for better reception. Thanks for all the help with THIS radio. There will be more when I find them.

Glad to hear you got it working , it's easy when you know how. Icon_angel You might want to wire in a 1amp fuse into the ac circuit for safety.

Thanks for you help I don't think that I could have done this without your help. My aunt and uncle will really enjoy seeing it work again.
