Philco 90 High Resistance Antenna Coil?
#5

Hello LASJayhawk...Thanksfor the reply

You assumed right. Ther model 90 has 1 #47 output tube. I'm a novice, and judging by your reply, I don't know anywhere near what you know about the issue. What I can tell you though as far as alignment is that every station I pull in matches where it should be on the dial. In other words for example, station 600, 770, 880, 1010, 1130, 1400, 1500, etc tune in on the money with the dial numbers. This is so whether I have the antenna lead at the antenna lug, or at the RF grid. Only difference is, at the RF grid they tune in much stronger, and I get in many more weaker stations. Also, there is no drift or distortion, even with the antenna lead at the RF grid. Would the radio be out of alignment if this is the case? Any further thoughts?

Thank you very much again for your reply.

Joe
