Thanks Steve.
Yes, these sets are real performers when on a good antenna. I had no idea what to expect at first, having never encountered anything of this vintage or original quality level. Like you, I found it odd that the broadcast band (Medium wave, with my English hat on) is split between two bands. The 1941 RCA I restored last year has a broadcast band from 550 to 1600 kc and then the next short-wave band extends from 1.4 to 4 Mcs. Makes one wonder how the designers determined what to offer?
Enjoy, and do keep us posted on the alignment.
Cheers
Ed
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
