I have revived this 37-620 radio which was a basket case. This is my first radio. I receive BC signals but they are tough to lock, and I receive loud squelching just before I get the signal. Once I get the signal and get beyond the loud squelching, I have to turn down the volume or else it becomes saturated.

I have a single ended antenna connected to Input 1 with 2 connected to ground, it's length is apprx. 12 feet. It is supposed to be some sort of dual antenna with the center tap of the RF transformer grounded.(Input 3)

My thought is that the alignment might be the cause of this issue.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
