Philco 34 using 2A7 on Breadboard
#1

Hi All;
Since I have a free day tomorrow and have the Philco 45 Working.. I thought I would play arround with the Breadboard part of the Radio, and Try and see if I take out the 1C6 and with a different Socket I would wire in a 2A7, like what I have in the Philco 45, except the 45 has a 6A7 instead of the 2A7.. And see If the mixer circuit works any better than with the 1C6.. I figure it couldn't hurt at this point.. Before I go and make the change on the Philco 34 itself.. I did find that the Wave Trap was bad in the 34 and have bypassed it and with my signal generator I can get it to receive signals, but even with the same Antenna wire that I use on the 45 It will not Receive at all.. I thought they might be too weak, but the 45 proves that wrong..
THANK YOU Marty
