Philco 42-380X Reception problems, Need HELP!
#5

Hi All

Doug K, what part is the tuning cap, by cap do you mean capacitor, and how can I check it, I'm a newbie? Ron, thank you I will take the brush to it, gently, and clean away. Steve, where do I find the trimmer capacitors. I purchase a cap kit and replaced all but three of the paper capacitors are there others I should check. To all, thank you so very much for your assistance and Ron, you are always there. To further explain what I am realizing on the three bands, the response I am getting is like when you are between stations, it's a hash or just noise, almost as if there is some station there, but nothing will tune in on either of the three bands, I will try your suggestions, any other advise will be greatly received.
