GE 200 Reception issue
#5

Just did a GE 100 that was missing the bottom label so I mistook it for a GE 200, as they look identical on the outside. Once I got the chassis out, I found the difference right away....the 100 has one less tube, making it an AA5. After finding the correct schematic it was a fairly straight forward recap. I would try the easy stuff first, like swapping out tubes. I had a 5 tube Philco once that acted the same way...I wasn't getting half of the dial. As soon as I swapped out the faulty tube, the full dial came back. Metal verses GT tubes could make a difference as well.
