Model 90 Tuning after cleaning tuning capacitor
#1

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
