Hi Guys and Gals,

Putting the finishing touches on a model 70. In the process here's what I have so far and it's sort of baffling, at least to me.

When connecting an antenna wire to the proper post, there is little or no reception. When touching the wire on the grid cap of the 24 tube, 2nd one facing the front of the chassis, reception comes to life and fairly well. When I say touching, this is with my hand only. I notice that reception also comes to life if I touch the can that surrounds the coil underneat. Some abrupt jarring of the enclosure causes reception to be bit intermittent, but not enough to bring the set in or out of comission.

My thoughts, coil issue, either intermittent or something about to happen or perhaps alignment of the receiver. Any other thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? I appreciate the assistance, and thank you all again. GB.

73 de,

Gary/N9VU
