Philco 41-295
#2

Hello Bamafan! Philco radio station preset tuners are located on the chassis side by side (look identical, small individual tuning capacitors that each cover small bandwidth) and can be adusted to desired station with the front pushbutton"s" "engaged", and tune in retrospect with your dial-scale in khz, sometimes, in "reverse visual" prospective as your looking at rear of chassis instead of front of radio dial ( L to R) if I remember correctly on the Philco models I have serviced before. And adjustment is done by turning each individual tuning condensers slowly with a small screwdriver to find the appropriate stations broadcasting in that small-portion of the AM band. Just remember that the individual small "preset" condensers only cover a small-portion of the dial from 550 -1700 khz. In other words, with preset button #1 pushed in, it will only allow you to tune in stations on the lower end of the AM broadcast band up to lets say from 550 khz up to 650 khz. With far left preset button engaged, turn the screw on on either far outside preset condenser to find a station that comes in while your preset button is engaged. Set it for maximum performance. Then, you will know if your tuning in stations on the low-end or high-end of the dial. The next adjustment screw in that row will allow you to tune in a station from say 650 khz- 900 khz when #2 pushbutton is engaged, and so-on up the dial until you find a "preset" for all the available preset-pushbuttons on your dial! It make take 5 small on-chassis preset tuning condensers to cover the entire tuning spectrum from 550-1700 khz. For a stations frequency reference point on tuning your individual push button modes, go back and use the manual tuning button to locate the frequency of stations in your area across the dial to correspond with all the other individual station "preset" buttons to help you set each separate tuning condenser on the chassis in proper receiving bandwidth, that only allows for certain frequencies along the chain, then click in your preset buttons as you go along to adjust all them across the dial individually to fully cover the AM dial. Hope this info helps!! Icon_biggrin
