I'm working on a Philco 90 and had all the caps and resistors replaced and it sounded great. I was waiting for my bottom trim (see cabinet restoration) and i decided that what the heck i'm going to get that tuning capacitor clean inside and out. of course i took apart more than i should but i painfully learned to put it all back together. I knew it would need adjustment but now i can't even get a hint of a station. i followed the schematic tuning and it is very loud for the IF tuning but nothing when i try to tune at 1400. i checked my soldering and couldn't find a loose connection. I spent 2 hours on what should be a 15 minute task. Does any of this sound familiar? Nice and clean but doesn't work. Great. Thanks Rich
