I agree with the voltage differences but i can't seem to bring them down(on 24) /up (on 35).

However, it seems to come back to the tickler coil i wound, as you stated.

For an experiment, I coiled a separate tube with more turns than i originally did on the tickler and connected the 2 open ends with alligator clips to the same points as the tickler. In other words a supplemental "booster" coil. Now i can align up and down the dial - i get 830 loud and strong along with the other stations for the first time.

HOWEVER, the alignment is a very 'compressed' band on the dial with 830 located at 1100 or so and all the stations up to 1600.

so, when i 'fixed' the actual tickler does this result point to too many "turns" as a result of this "booster" coil? At least i know how to get the stations but ideally they'd like up better to the dial.
Sure appreciate your help !
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
