Detector stage problems...
#7

Yes, John, a good library is a valuable asset. I have a few dozen books on the subject of electricity and electronics. Besides Elements of Radio Servicing, I also have Marcus' Radio Servicing Theory And Practice, which is a tome and goes into great detail. I find Elements better for quick, practical answers. I also have a number of the old Audel's books. Audel's Radioman's Guide is a very useful book for basic, practical learning about servicing radios. I also have the ten volume Audel's New Electric Library, which is full of useful information on everything from house wiring to radio. I don't have the electronics course books we used back in the Navy, they were actually classified "Confidential", although I know that there was nothing in them could not be found in any of the better electronics course books.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
