Bad Transformer?
#21

I'm now moving on to my next set of issues since it appears that my transformer is good. I have sound out of my speakers, but as I turned the dial, I don't get any stations. I guess there are a couple of things to test.

I'll keep updating this thread with my results unless anyone thinks I need to make another thread pertaining to my reception issues. I'm going to test my oscillator coil and see if there are any problems there. I've been using this step by step guide to help me make good measurements on my radio. It's from another forum, but it's a great guide even if it's not your radio in the guide. It helps newbies read the schematics and find what it references to the actual wiring.

Please post if you all have any receptions tips you might have for my 40-180 radio.

Thanks to all that have posted, I couldn't have done it without you all.

-Jeff
