Philco 60 - antenna wavetrap?
#4

Hi, I can put a signal in the tube 6A7 and I can even tune the signal via the high frequency and antenna compensating condensers. I can clip the signal generator on the antenna coil wires and hear a signal. I can set up the signal generator to tune to a known channel, checking with a modern AM radio then tune my radio to that frequency when the signal generator is clipped to the antenna coil, yet I can't get a signal from the actual antenna connection. From the antenna connection to the wavetrap then to the wave band, nothing. when I switch between bands, it does change the properly from the switch forward but doesn't change any reception from the antenna. I soldered the wires again but no change. I wonder if the wire going to the antenna coil is broken even though I checked it? Rich
