A new user with model 60 woes
#10

All is well now. (Comparatively) I had not compared my radio to the "late" schematic very carefully and it already had the IF changes from one of the bulletins, but not the separate biasing of the 6A7 and 78. I had been mis-aligning the secondary IF secondary thinking it was the BC LF padder. I put the unit back together after removing the coils and testing continuity and I replaced the 110pf cap on the oscillator coil. I decided not to rewind the primary on the o-coil per Ron's suggestion and he was right, that was not my main issue. Now, the only problems remaining are an intermittent sensitivity issue while warming up. The unit "cuts in and out" but does not completely lose signal while warming up. I suspect that one of the IF coils is intermittent. Also the unit is not very selective but is sensitive. It sounds good and the AVC works fairly well. I cannot trace the issue to any component so any suggestions would be appreciated. At least I can use the unit now!
