Thanks for the reply. The -80 dBm is probably close. I am a retired engineer and a HAM and have worked on radios going down to -110 dBm. I will eventually do an alignment and see if I get any improvement in the sensitivity.
The restringing is a problem, as string was not intact when I got it. I have restored a couple of Emerson's, and a Zenith. This Philco is one of the more complicated tuning strings that I have encountered.
