Volume control
#14

Hi
I did an alignment. There are only 3 adjustable caps. I got a lot of the noise to go away by rerouting the power transformer wires. It plays fairly well now.
I still need to attach the antenna terminal to a conduit run to get any stations. Is there a good way to make an antenna that would look good and still work? I found that if I hook up the antenna to the ground hole on my bench receptacle it works great. I am sure this is a true grounded wire because I put in the service and the ground rods. So this gives the radio a lot of wire for an antenna. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks Bob
