I have recapped a Philco 91 cathedral radio I recently purchased. The recapping included the electrolytics, the filter caps and every one of the bakelite blocks. It seems that I am able to receive stations at the high end of the band with little to no hum. However when I tune from say 1200 kHZ all the way to the low end I do not receive any stations and the hum increases. It does decrease around 600 kHz but then increases again to the low end. Since every capacitor has been changed what else could be causing this poor reception.

Thanks,

Charlie
