Mondial, my receiver tunes down to 200kc, so I won't have to mess with harmonics.
I went through everything tonight, got the local very close to 260kc, and the tuning dead on with strong voltage on the avc. It still dies below 1000kc without the jumper lead on the plate of the 36. I'm going to redo the tickler coil again, just to rule it out if nothing else.
