Philco 118x floor model restoration
#23

i was looking at the radio analyst manual; this thing will put out a signal at 260 KC, which if i understand it correctly, i should put into the clip off the 6A7, tune the radio to 550 and adjust a few condensors until you get "maximum output" on an output meter.

so......stupid question...what exactly do they mean by output meter? can you just use the speaker and adjust for maximum volume?

next newb question: wave traps. i read on here someplace that theyre basically obsolete at this point, and you can just leave them alone. or is it worth my time to attempt to adjust them per the manual?

I must again apologize if I'm barely making any sense, i basically learned everything i know about a half an hour ago.
