Model 37-84 Help Needed
#45

Well, this radio is getting closer to working. I rewound the antenna and oscillator coils and I can hear the oscillator pulsing through a transistor radio. However, it is only pulling in a few stations very faintly and garbled most of the time. Two are near the low end of the dial around 640 and 1100 and one at the upper end but they aren't constant. Sometimes I hear them and then there will be only static up and down the dial. A couple of times, the stations at the low end of the dial came in clear but when I tuned the dial, they disappeared. This is even after attaching a wire to the antenna post - not antenna wire and it isn't very long. If I touch the antenna post, the volume goes up but none of the stations come in any clearer.
