Philco 37-61 problems
#15

bill and bill, I did get the 2 meg from the grid to ground, in fact it was 2.03 meg. the tuning cap and the .05 are all good ground, as I checked this early on in this, at first I could not see where the sub-chassis was grounded so I ran a good ground to the main chassis. Then later on I found how it is grounded. Thats the way it goes.. the thing about the grid lead not going to the correct section of the tuning cap-it is connected to the same side as the correct wire that comes from the bandswitch, I guess both could be wrong. someone asked about the SW band, well it works fine as far as I know, don't know if they come in on the correct place on the dial but it aligned fine the first time(I should redo it) and I get good responce at the low end of the dial. If the grid wire was wrong I think SW would suffer, but I must say that the SW band works as good or better than other radios that I have, even with the short antenna and downstairs.

I think that if I can't find anything else I may just try to move the dial to the place that works the best.
Thanks for the help
Tom
