Hi all, it's been a while since I have been able to work on any radios, but now I have this Philco model 52-944 that is acting strange on the FM band.  I have replaced most all wax paper caps and the radio works fine on AM, but could not get anything on FM band.  I checked the band switch and all is good there.  I get nothing on FM band unless I touch the coil (L2) with the blade of a screwdriver...then FM jumps to life and plays until I remove the screwdriver.  I am not grounding it with the screwdriver, just simply touching the L2 coil.  I know there is probably a good reason why this is working like this, but I'm not sure where to start.  Any ideas out there as to what this needs?  I do not have the old Line cord FM aerial that attaches to the power cord...I guess the previous owner got rid of this.  But I do have an FM antenna attached to the proper terminals (1 & 2).  Thanks in advance for any ideas.
