Philco 37-61 problems
#11

Bill, the rf section of the tuner did check out ok, sorry I did not get back on that one. I checked it with a meter and it is not shorted and it is 360mmf fully closed. On the antenna, I have been swaping between a long wire strung up in the rafters and a wire that goes around the rear inside of the framing of the radio,it is a console model. The wire up in the rafters performs better but not much. Now this is downstairs and the rafters are the floor of the ground floor, about 2 feet above ground level. Once, I took the radio upstairs to see if that would help-no better. On the topic of antennas, on the schematic it says that it should have a "high-efficiency" aerial and that the "transmission lines" go to terminals 1&2. Do you have any idea what that is?
Tom
