Philco 97 - RF problem... HELP!
#36

Had a quick play with it last night - didn't have a lot of time... but I wasn't able to get it to peak without losing the ANT trimmer peak (tightened down fully before the peak), and same with the OSC... but I didn't really have time to fully investigate that.

I also noticed that the volume output increased significantlywhen I accidentally hit the ANT coil can, then settled back to normal after a second or so. Same thing happened when I tapped the OSC can... instant boost lasting a second or so then cut back to normal (not a gradual decline)... dry joint somewhere? I'll pull those two cans apart and check them properly when I have some time, hopefully tomorrow - open night tonight, I'll be showing parents what we do to their kids during the day Icon_smile

Cheers

Steve

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
