The manual tuning on this set is another tuning unit besides the PB tuning. It's a slug tuned setup, independent of the PB tuned circuits You might check the coils in it to see if one might be open. That's what it sounds like. These 8 tube Philco Chrysler sets are hot radios, as well as one of the best sounding auto sets of their day. There are parts sets laying around, I'm sure. This same radio was built for all Chrysler cars from 1941 throoigh 1948.
