Model 90 weak high end
#5

Radioroslyn:  OK-osc tracks from 720kc to 1630kc but not at constant level:  low end 720 = 140mv signal//high end = 60mv signal tracking linearly end to end.  Changed out 24A 1st det tube = no change.  Local station @ 550kc is loud and clear at 550kc on dial.  600 padder responsive.  Am I nuts or isn't signal normally stronger at the high end than the low end - this seems reversed??  I dismounted the 4 stage variable capacitor to clean it up and especially to renew the 3 rubber mounts to the chassis.  While I was at it, I replaced all the wires from the stator sections and the rotor.  Something tells me I need to double-check how I wired those new wires.  I carefully checked to be sure the stator sections went to the proper coil pins.  What now, coach?? Thanks, Steve
