I’ve recapped this radio and it works GREAT except for one thing. The two local stations at the high end of the dial come in too well. By this I mean with the volume turned down all the way the volume is too loud. When I tried to neutralize the radio following the procedure in the Philco Library I got all the way to the last step. I can’t get the 1st RF stage neutralized, 2 and 3 adjusted just like they were supposed to. The trimmer doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m using a plastic wrench and did replace the capacitors connected to the trimmers. 
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
