Philco 45 - One Last Problem
#3

Thanks Ron, I did try replacing the 6A7, but it had the same problem. I've tinkered with it some more since my last post, checking resistors, micas, etc.
I starting twisting on the antenae fahnestock clip on the exterior of the chassis and the sound came in bright and clear. Is this antenae clip suppose to be isolated from the chassis (ground)?? The clip appears to be mounted on a fiber washer top and bottom of chassis to isolate it. I'll also check the solder joints from the band switch to wave trap to antenae clip.

Also, while I've got your attention, I'm getting a loud buzz in the higher end of the broadcast band above 90. Can you give me a starting point?

Thanks,
Britt Abbott
