Mitchell 1264 Issues
#16

Cap across the leads shuts down the sound/reception completely. Cap installed in series has no effect either way.

I think my issue has been interference all this time. I tried a realignment again, then I took the radio to the bathroom and set it beside the window. I got several stations in this time. Took it back to my bench area and couldn't get but one faint station. I don't know whats blocking it, but I should have thought this out earlier when I noticed my clock radio beside the bed seemed to pick up stations ok. but my home stereo, ajacent to where I was working on it, won't pick up any AM stations either. I apologise for not thinking of this earlier and getting everyone a headache trying to figure this out. It is very well appreciated though!

Whew! I was about to suggest you find another donor loop.

Reminds me of a similar problem with a radio repaired for a friend at work. The radio would only blare noise at the factory. Interference was swamping out any radio stations.

Congrats!

Actually I was considering the same thing as far as getting another 'doner' radio for it's loop! This now is radio #2 in getting operational. I have 2 more, a 1930's trutone and a philco 42-340 that has lots of crusty wires. I am hoping those go smoother!

You have my sympathy concerning the crusty Philco wiring.

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
