40-150 No SW
#15

I have them both working now and they seem to be working well. They even get shortwave reception with no external antenna connected.
On the first one I tried baking the coil, reflowed the solder, checked and double checked the wiring and switch and with no positive result. One of the local old time radio repair guys said it was critical as to how the antenna's were connected for this series of radio to work properly so I focused on that. When I got the radios in they each had no shortwave antenna attached at all and only one or two wires attached to the main antenna.
Once both the main antenna and the shortwave antenna were connected properly the shortwave came to life on the first radio so I reattached the missing wires to the second one and got them all connected up properly and away it went. This is the first set I have ever seen that the way the loop is connected would effect the shortwave so much.
