Hi, I am just getting back to restoring a Philco radio after a long break from them. But i like philcos and always wanted a 70 or a 90. Not feeling too lucky at the moment, but will eventually . It is an earlier serial number 70.Not in the best of shape but I am determined to get it back to normal as possible.The problem is I am stuck and could use some help . Maybe someone has run into this symptom before. 1420 khz station comes in at 1120 on the dial 1190 kHz comes in at 1410. Backwards! I flipped the oscillator feedback coil wires .no change.The silver micas should be .00011 on the oscillator but were .ooo42 . I had a .00025. So I installed it .No real change.I have done the normal cap and resistor changes - no change.I have checked coils no opens. Not sure if they are rewound but does hot look it.Any ideas much appreaciated ! Nothing below 900 on dial .With signal gen only low tone below 900.Is there some thing obvious I should look at? Thanks for any help!
