Philco 118
#25

So it was the AVC. I accidentally connected cap #17 to the bottom pin of the RF xfmr #12 instead of the middle pin.
No wonder it attenuated the heck out of everything.

I walked down the AVC circuit and noticed the 2M and 70K resistor, where they connect to the coil, had no cap connected. That was the clue Icon_smile

Anyways, it plays very well now, the sound is really booming.

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.
