Philco 84
#37

After playing with compensators #11 and #15 I can get a very low 460KC tone thru but thats at the highest output setting of my generator. Also, depending on where the compensators are set I can get squeals, whistles and the occasional 1 station to come in, although its at the upper end of the band and its not always the same station. Sometimes its the strongest here in Toledo and other times a weaker one.

Some voltage readings I took are:
Det/Osc:
Plate to Cathode 229V
Screen to Cathode 98V

2nd Det:
Plate to Cathode 64V
Screen to Cathode 45V

Seems like these voltages are Ok and I did have a good solid 460KC thru the radio with generator set at the lowest output before I rewound the osc coil the second time. YES, I did connect the wires to the osc coil correctly, and even went thru the wiring twive to make sure. I just can't grasp the reason why I can't get that D**n 460 thru now. I've tried going thru a .o5MFD cap to the antenna clip and control grid of the osc/detector tube and even tried a direct connection thru the grid but still only a very low tone thru.
