Hello everyone, I'm almost done with the radio--just waiting for the 2 resistors from the auction site to replace the 3000/2240 ohm candohm and I should be done. I touched up the alignment this morning on the receiver chassis and all of the bands are now accurate with the dial with excellent sensitivity. I didn't have to adjust the I.F. or magnetic tuning transformers and the magnetic tuning (AFC) is working correctly. I was curious why Philco decided to have the bass amplification circuit disabled on the 4 shortwave bands? On AM it works great but on the other bands it is disabled--the other bands sound very good with lots of volume though. I'm glad at least I don't have to work on the cabinet as it is in excellent shape . Ken
