You mentioned "most of the time I can't get a station to come in." Does that mean that sometimes you CAN receive stations?

A few options come to mind. First, are you in a weak signal area where an antenna problem could result in *NO* reception?

How about the voltage at the radio's terminals? Is it up to par? (12v +).

In the 'no reception' mode are you hearing noise at plenty of volume?

The early 70s were particularly bad years for anything that has the name Philco.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
