Philco 42-345 Restoration/Repair
#66

I am not sure how the loop antenna supposed to work but think I have figured it out. I had one lead on terminal 1 and got nothing, connected it to terminal 2 and received static. I touch the other end and even more static, then I connect leads to terminal 1 and 2 and nothing.
Ok so I remove terminal 1 and going through the stations I finally hear something but crappy sounding, brainstorm I touch the other lead again to terminal 1 and the station clears up. Turn the radio off and on and that station stays and is clear, also I am able to pull in more channels. It seems after I was able to locate one channel I can now pull in others.
I've heard that some places have been able to pull in more stations later in the day than earlier, maybe this is what is happening.
The bright side so far, the radio sounds better than when I first started working on it.
