philco tuning capacitor
#3

Tom

Welcome.

Two requests:

1. Could you please use some punctuation, it is a bit hard to read one long sentence with no commas whatsoever.
2. What does "tuning cap hanging up" mean? Tuning cap is not a computer. We can make guesses as to what you mean, but it is better if you explain the symptoms.

Start from the beginning, what was done to the radio (like, was it re-capped etc), what it does when you do something to it (power up, sound, tuning, performance), etc.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
