1941 Ford car Philco model F-1841
#4

Terry, so here is what I found last night, it appears it is working very surprisingly considering the condition this thing was in. So I went to the first audio stage, tone came through clear, went to the output, nothing. I thought that this was strange so I went to the 7B8 for the 455KC and that was working as I had a tone coming through that. The alignment is off just a little so I will need to adjust accordingly. But the problem with the output wasn't with the tube, but with the volume control, it is still very dirty. I've sprayed WD40 in it but it's not clean enough yet any suggestions? Also I haven't been able to figure out how to go from the 5 channel station selector to manual tuning it appears to be stuck on the selector but I would prefer to manually tune, have any idea what controls that at all?
