Philco model 60
#1

Hi guys! I’m a new member here but have been using your resources for quite some time. Hopefully I can get some help with some model 60 issues that I am having. Bought this radio at my local vintage electronics expo a couple of years ago. I tested all the tubes and replaced the weak ones. Rebuilt the can capacitors. Rebuilt all the capacitor blocks. Freed up the seized tuning cap and replaced the mounting bushings. Cleaned the controls. Rewound the primary winding on the antenna coil. The problem is that when attempting to align, I can only faintly hear the signal generator through the speaker. The radio will not pick up any stations. I have schematics galore, but none have any voltage specs as to what I should have at the field coil speaker. Also I am unsure if the oscillator is actually working and cannot find something showing which pins on the coil are for, so I can test it. I have a lot of experience with tube and solid state radios and amps but this one has me stumped. I keep double checking everything I touched, convinced that I did something wrong but not finding anything. This was a deluxe mouse house when I got it and someone else had been in it before. Any suggestions or recommendations would greatly be appreciated!
