Hi Steve,
I ordered one of the modules and just installed it today. Clever little gadget.
My victim set is a Philco 37-60. I was/am unsure where to dump the audio output so I went to the top of the volume control like an add-on phono attachment. 27k and .022 in series.
I seem to be tuning ok, a surprising number of carriers, but I'm not recovering any audio.
His instructions say to go into the "LF" amp stage but I don't understand what he means.

What are your comments on the injection point?

-Bill
