Philco 38-2 Automatic Tuning
#1

Hello, I am having trouble getting my automatic tuning to stay unmuted. If I play with the tuning handle I can get it to unmute but as soon as I try to tune in a station it mutes again and stays that way until I play with the handle again. I believe the problem is with the movable contact. Ron Ramirez talked about this back in a 2016 post. There was a picture there but it is no longer showing. Bob Andersen also shows some pictures but I don't see a slot. I have mine set exactly like Bob's last picture. Can someone describe exactly where that contact goes and maybe how it works. See https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...tic+tuning for Bob's pictures. My Philco schematic says the automatic tuning is the same one as the 37-10.

Thank you,
Dan
