Philco 60 - Problem with Short Wave/Police Band
#8

The 89 coils are well known for moisture absorption so its not a far reach that your 60 coil might have excessive leakage. Check for DC resistance between non-connected terminals and the mounting lug to chassis (if there is one). My 'bad' 89 coil had dc leakage as low as several hundred K-ohms on a DMM.

If you get any resistance at all (save something like 30Megohms) it might pay to bake the moisture out of the coil form and reseal it.

GL,
Bill
