Anyone know where I can find a reproduction grill cloth for a 37-93? Haven't seen anything close at radiodaze or the other usual suspects. just recapped it and restuffed the bakelite blocks. After passing dim bulb and smoke test and swapping the rectifier tube...it's SINGING! Picking up stations near and far but it's got a low hum. I have not attempted an allignment (I don't have a signal generator). While on the subject I'd like to hear some sage advice about the best way to go in regard to signal generators. Keep in mind that I'm a hobbiest on a budget but would like to make a frugal investment. Any advice welcome
