I have been working on my Philco 37-650 PX and My Friend Dick Morgan has been trouble shooting and helping me a great deal and we stopped because of his time and is not feeling well , all the voltages are good and plenty of audio also the coil for the am band is not open, when I put my finger on the grid cap of one of the tubes, I can faintly here some talking coming over the air. The radio /phono switch is set to radio , all the tubes check very good . The oscillator is dead to the bone . Any ideas on what could be the culprit. I know its not easy and could be a number of things but Dick cant get to it for a while, was the 650 prone to this problem and what the action taken to correct it?
