RCA Q-103 tube ?
#8

Terry,
I hooked it up and had no problem finding the signal and peaking the IF's for the 455 then I moved on to the AM band skipping the SW bands for now. ( is that a problem doing it that way). have no problem finding the signal at 1300 and 600 but when I start going up and down the scale after peaking the trimmers and slugs all I get are whistles. I can land it on either 680 or 750 our strongest stations and play with the slugs and get one or the other I do this with a antenna strung in my garage, take the antenna away and the signal is lost. The coils in both IF cans show the correct value's could I have a problem with the caps inside? In the print 17-6 it shows some changes the things outside the cans have been done don't know about inside.

Eric
