Thanks Ed!

So after dinner I aligned the set.

It's no Hammarlund or RCA, but it plays surprisingly well for a six tube radio with no RF amp.

This video shows the 6-S-128 as I tune it across the entire AM band, and then part of shortwave band "B".

So that's it for the time being until I come up with a solution for the speaker problem. The Philco K-7 will need to go back into the Philco 89B cathedral (although I'll need to address its rubbing voice coil at some point).

I will admit here that I did buy an 8 inch Grunow speaker yesterday from the auction site, hoping it solves my problems. I may attempt to replace the audio output transformer on the Zenith speaker I have, also, and then see if its higher resistance field coil has an adverse affect on the set's reception, or not. If not, I'll keep the Zenith speaker with this set even though it is not correct. Otherwise I hope the Grunow speaker will work with this chassis.

We shall see...
