Arvin 182TFM Alignment ?
#4

> Tubes have been checked and I have had put replacements in no change

When it fades out do the tubes stay lit??
Could have an intermittent filament or bad connection at the socket.

Use a second receiver to listen for the local osc @ 455kc above the broken set's dial setting when it's faded out.
This will rule out an intermittent osc coil.

You can use your signal generator to troubleshoot by ejecting a 455kc signal at the ant when faded.
This will tell you if the IF,det,and audio are the issue.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
