Okay folks, so pretty much everything has been wrong with the 60. A couple tubes were gassed, open oscillator coil, a few bad caps and resisters and so on. I have literally replaced every part I can think of, and I still get the same results. No reception whatsoever. Just a quiet hiss. I checked the voltages, and everything is fine. Re stuffed all Bakelite caps, replaced filter caps, and replaced the caps inside the metal can. Replaced bad resistors. Re wound the coil(the correct way and actually made it perfect. Looks like factory) I have re flowed all solder joints and checked wires for any shorts. I have literally done everything possible, and it won’t work at all. The weird thing is the radio worked perfectly fine before the coil opened. It’s as if everything went bad all at once. The ONE thing I did not do was replace the tuner grommets as they are rotted and the tuner wobbles around. I temporarily stuck some foam “shims” underneath the tuner it to prevent it from wobbling. Seems like there is a short somewhere because if I move the antenna around, I will hear loud popping sounds from the speaker. And if I hold the antenna, then I can faintly hear a station in the lower end of the dial. But it’s very faint. I am at a complete loss…. I think I will stick with my simple AA5 radios lol
