I have a   Model 630, and which is now working after recapping and replacing several out of tolerance resistors. Except for the Wave Trap adjustment all the other adjustments have worked fine. I am using a #20 wire, 26 feet to act as my antennae. If I attach the antenna to the ANT terminal of the radio, I can pick up several stations but with much static. See the attachment. If I attach the antennae to either the Black or Red terminal the reception improves but still has some static. If I attach it to the blue line, (see the attachment) direct input to the tuning condenser it works very well and tunes well with little or no static on the tuned station. While aligning the set I only experienced a problem trying to align the Wave Trap. The coil does ohm out at 17 ohms, but it seems like the variable capacitor has no effect.

Is the Wave Trap causing my static problem? the rotary switch seems to ohm out ok and has been cleaned. Any suggestions.
