Atwater Kent model 206 weak noisy reception upper end of dial

So how did you get such a nice set??
I've had two of them one when I was in jr high and the second one I picked up several yrs ago on epay $$$. The 1st is long gone the 2nd is awaiting restoration.

As for your issues, got all the tube shields on?? Did you have to replace a bunch of rubber wire?? Could be a wire placement problem. Check to see if C-6 C9 and 10 are wired correctly.
You didn't mention any about the resistors it's worth checking to see if they are within tolerance. Note they use an odd color code so use the diagram for proper values.

For those following at home this is what the set in question looks like.

OBTW I saw this on ut you might enjoy it if you haven't seen it before.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg4RE2hVw1Q

Happy hunting!

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
