I have attempted alignment as described in "Aligning Philco Radios".

For 20 it is 1400kHz into the antenna input.

Well, if I align it my local station comes at 1120 i/o 1160.
It is possible to align the station by ear, but...well, it is a 20.
I leave it aligned at 1400.

I do not remember this with the other two, but then I am not sure how accurate I was with them.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
