Model FM-61 Automatic brand fm converter.
#16

I've finally had time to come back to this unit and was able to fix a couple things. One I installed a new output antenna that helped quite a bit with the fading problem. Adding a main antenna helped as well. I had to re string as well as the old one snapped on me.  As for the first problem I'm not sure how to fix that. I did figure out that my stations on the high end of the scale are at the bottom end of the scale but my final high station starts about where it should and but goes to the end of the scale. Now with the rest of the high scale side stations being at the bottom is this still a problem with the FM RF Amp. - FM Conv. tube or an alignment problem?
