How do you know this???[Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...roblem.gif]. Can you hear it or check it w/a counter???
If so then the issue is in the ant circuit. Hum may be from a open gnd connection at the ant coil. Check the volume control (rf/IF gain). Clean the brass rotor ground fork at the rear of the tuning to rid yourself of the tuning noise.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
