Model 70 Help for the newbie

Well Ron it looks like you were right. It turned out to be that the 1st detector was open. I have two model 70 chassis, and one of them turned out to be good. So after a month I can say that I can finally have stations!

I don't think I've worked all the bugs out though. I've noticed that I can only seem to get stations high on the dial and when I do turn the tuning knob, I will get a station in real clear for a moment and then suddenly the radio goes quiet and completely loses the station. It seem like if I turn the volume knob and wiggle the tuning knob that I can sometimes get the station back.

Any thoughts on that? As always I really appreciate the help. My wife didn't think I'd ever get this to work, so thanks to the Phorum, I look like a genius in her eyes.
