I did all the caps on the radio and so far I can recieve stations across the dial but very very faint. The power supply weighs about 50 pounds.
I am going to need some help with this one,so back to the books for some more knowledge and information on how it works.
Thanks for the comments.. Dan

This may be a dumb question but does the 10-12 use bias cells? If it does, and the bias cells are bad, then the set won't play properly. Other then that there are a number of other causes for weak reception, weak tubes, drifted resistors, a bad mica cap, open antenna coil, open RF coil. One thing to check for certain is the IF alignment, if someone has been in there and messed around with a screwdriver it could be way off, same with the antenna and RF trimmers.
By the way, I just picked up another Rogers product myself, although about three years newer, it's a DeForest-Crosley "Brahms" from about 1938, but it only has 9 tubes, inspite of what the RCC manual says, the "Gilbert" model had 11 tubes which is what the RCC manual shows. But it's still a big and impressive radio with motorized tuning, very similar electrically to a Rogers model 13-96.
