Thanks Mike. I had tested it with a 6' piece of wire. I attached a much longer antenna and the other bands get activity. AM is still weak though. I will have to do some rewiring as the guy who last worked on it used the wrong wire for some of the chassis, and for all the grid wires. Looks like he ran out of cloth wire about 3/4 the way through. Very odd. Wish he had replaced the grid wires in cloth and left his handy work under the chassis.

We have this index put together by Dale Cook but I don't think that is quite what you are looking for.

Yep the dim bulb test is OK but I'd definitely replace all those electrolytics before I did it. Since those #47 conden...klondike98

The resistor is a 2.2 Meg, it was the last one I hadn't replaced. The broadcast is coming in after replacing it.osanders0311 — 09:09 PM

What does the resistor measure? I think it should be 3.3 Meg.
