Philco Model 60 Restore
#1

I just finished restoring a Philco Model 60 cathedral, and it works great an the AM Band. I have not done an alignment, though I did adjust the compensating condenser in the 6A7 oscillator circuit. It was motorboading badly when I brought it to life. After adjusting the condenser, it works great!

However, when I switch to the SW band I hear AM stations though they are weaker. I really don't care about the SW band, but I am haunted knowing that the radio is imperfect.

Where would I start to troubleshoot the SW band?

Thanks!
