Quote:what would cause the signal to drop when tuning off a station? Then I would have to turn the radio on/off quickly and it would play again till I tune it again. It is very strange as I haven't had a radio do that.

OK, that is very odd. That has me baffled for now.

Sounds like your AVC is working correctly. How are the B+ voltages? Do they vary when the signal drops off?

You might check for any loose/bad solder joints, especially if you removed the RF unit.

I have three 37-650 chassis out in the garage. Maybe I should restore one of them, get it playing right, and one of those 38-643 sets could come back home to me? Icon_wink Divorce can make a guy do some dumb things sometimes, like selling radios that he regrets selling later.
