Hello, I have a 48-1262 that I just recaped, it did not work when I first got it. I completely recaped all the paper capacitors and the electroylics, with the same value. I had to go to a slightly higher mfd in the electrolic caps, but within 20% of value. I have checked the tubes and they are good. I powered it up and no pops or smoking...good so far. I get sound from the speaker, but I can not pick up any stations. I have tried all diffrent antenna variations including the original hook-up...I only get a squealing noise when I hit where a station should be. There is no loud hum or noise in between stations. I have other radios and they get recption no problem, so I know it is not the radio location. What do I do now? I double checked the caps against the schematic and they are correct, I also have a spare chassis that is non-working and all the connections line-up as should be. The only thing that I changed is there were two caps that had a coil wire trap wraped around them and according to the philco service tip the 37A they can be eliminated with no effect. These were I-F bypass capacitors.
Thanks
