RCA Victor T-55 AM radio
#23

All, Ok I put the switch back together. Installed in radio.

Hooked to Variac and brought voltage up to normal with no problems.

However.. I only get a hum out of speaker. Hum gets louder with volume.. But no noise just hum.. No stations heard. I have a really strong AM station about 1 mile from me and cannot even hear that..

So unfortunately my schematic has little to NO voltage readings on it. So I guess my next step is to put 455 KHZ signal in and see what I get. Or should I try something else first..

Here is schematic.. Very hard to read.. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/821/M0015821.htm
