I did one more modification. A few days ago, there was a discussion on the Phorum about line filter capacitors. The Philco20 has no line filters and has to have a ground for maximum performance. When I disconnect the ground. strong stations get noticeably quitter and the weaker ones completely disappear. I decided to add a line filter. I used two .01 Y2 safety capacitors connect from both sides of the line to chassis ground. Now, listening to the radio, I tried connecting and disconnecting the ground, there was absolutely no change in volume.
