Hello, everyone.

I recently purchased a Model 37-84 and did the usual recap and resistor replacement as well as replacing the 4 meg with a 2 meg in the I.F. can as noted on the Philco Repair Bench website.  However, I have run into a problem that I hope someone can help me with.  The radio turns on but I do not get any stations unless I touch the grid cap on the 6J7G detector-oscillator.  A couple local stations come in loud and clear.  Touching the grid cap on the 2nd detector 6J7G gives a loud hum.  Also, the volume control doesn't do anything.  In other words, the volume is constant and doesn't get louder or softer.  I changed to a 50k ohms volume control (the schematic calls for a 20k) with the same result.  

Here is a link to the schematic:  http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...013225.pdf

I look forward to getting any advice you can share.
