40-200 Push Buttons
#8

I don't know how the pushbuttons are designed in the 40-200, but in some sets it's quite normal for there to be a range for each pushbutton,
so the lower ones won't tune in anything above a certain frequency, whilst the upper ones won't tune bellow a certain frequency. These are the banks that have an oscillator coil for each button, with a slug, and a trimmer, and they are electrically switched in and out of the front end. Some Philcos don't use this setup, they switch in a trimmer, and or a padder for each button rather then a coil, in which case each button should work across the dial.
Regards
Arran
