[Radioroslyn]

Terry, I only have 2 pages from Nostalgiaair. On one page it does show some voltages. but not many.. That's how I found I had missed a ground connection. Had 161 volts where I should have had 95 volts..

But after that fix radio did start to receive.. but not real great. picked up only the strong stations. maybe the loop antenna is either not hooked up right or is bad..???

I did find a very weak tube a 6SA7  Had one in a different radio and substituted  it sounds better.. but not as I would expect??  Maybe its the best it can be?? Maybe these 5 tube radios are not that great to start out..

Did I miss some pages of the riders ?

Yes you are correct  there is just two pages in the Rider's. At 1st I just gave it a quick glance and didn't see the voltages on it Thought you might have missed them too.

The loop is easy enough to check with an ohm meter, just check for continuity and it should read a few ohms. As far as the connections it isn't shown on the schematic. In most cases it would be connect in parallel with rf side of the tuning cap. Some times the frame of the tuning cap is at chassis ground and sometimes it isolated from chassis but is at rf ground though a paper cap. This set up allows the antenna circuit to be part of the avc system.
If your chassis has L-9 in it the loop would connect in parallel to it's primary.

For best performance you'll need to break out the signal generator and give a good alignment. Connect the generator the ant post and ground. Set it up at 455kc w/ modulation and keep rf level turned down so you can just hear it. Adjust the trimmers in the IF cans for max signal. It's not uncommon for the trimmers in the plate of the mixer tube and the plate of the IF amp circuit to have HV on the adj screw. Disconnect the generator and use 1440 to do the rf alignment. This involves adjusting the two trimmers on the top of the tuning cap. The one on the left is the osc so set in so that 1440 is at 1440. The right one is resonates the loop so set it for max signal at 1440.

During your servicing you've changed some of the electrical characteristics by replacing caps with slightly different lead lengths, replaced tubes, and such. All this can affect the alignment. So it's always good practice to do an alignment to get the most out of your set.
