Philco model 49-900
#8

Thank you all for your input . I am well acquainted with using the proper tools & have repaired quite a few radios but this is the first one that is like this. Before I started on it it received one station with static everywhere on the am band. I have replaced all the components, tried tube replacement, and cleaned it thoroughly. I aligned it & still have static & receive only one station bot very strong. The if cans are the type without silver mica sheets. I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb & cannot find anything wrong. I made sure that the tuning condensor plates were not rubbing. I tried a new volume control pot with the same results. There is nothing left to try that I can see.
