She's working great! I am using about 2 feet of antenna wire, and I am tuning in stations across the band with excellent volume. I adjusted the regeneration throttle condenser as directed, and this did have the affect of peaking the performance.

I am tempted to not even try some of the additional performance tips at the Philco Repair Bench. I tried the gimmick capacitor but that just seemed to degrade things. I thing I will leave things as is.

Thanks for all your help everyone!
