The alignment for the most part went well....
Seems that I read somewhere that if you tune in a weak station, it comes in loud, but along with all the loud noise as well. Also during tuning, it's very noisy until you get right on the station and I think this is normal for FM during this era... If I have good reception, I get a very good clear signal.....I had the FM antenna wire weaved in and out of the power cord (twisted cloth covered cord) but it didn't seem to help much.....until I unplugged the Philco from my Variac which is also an isolation transformer and plugged it directly into the house outlet....a very nice improvement...
A little more fooling around and I should be done...
