On the outside antenna, when I first turn on the set I receive stations fine all up and down the broadcast band. WSM comes in strong at 650 as it should, but, after a little while the lower end of the band fades away. The upper end from about 1000KC on still comes in quite strong, with lots of stations, but below that reception faces quickly, and below about 800Kc the radio becomes deaf as a post. I pulled the chassis again, and rechecked the alignment over and over. I did notice it is still flukey even just trying to align it. I am going to replace some tubes because I am wondering if I have one that is going weak as it heats. Oddly, short wave seems much less affected than the broadcast band. I have checked and rechecked the connections, and I don't think they are the problem. If any of you have encountered the same sort of problem let me know, and tell me if you discovered the cause.
