Well, it's all up and working, but the FM volume is still low. Have to crank the volume control knob to max. I have the two wire "antenna" that Philco supplied with the radio (it plugs into the chassis and the two wires are stapled along the inside of the cabinet) but I'm wondering if longer wire, or even a pair of old rabbit ears, might give me better FM reception.
AM is perfect, even got the five push buttons programmed for favorite AM stations. Still wondering about that FM "test socket" on the back of the chassis.
