which coil - model 52
#1

Hi,
i recapped tried to align but can only tune 1 strong station at the top frequency.  if i try i can make 830 AM (strongest local station) come in, it's bearly perceptible at very low volume.   I wonder whether one of the coils has a break.  I can't decide which because i don't measure an open coil, the ohms are 5.6, 10 or 11.  Maybe my alignment is bad but i've followed the schematic at 175kc etc.  I hate to rewind a coil if i don't have to. Rich

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
