Fairbanks Morse model 56
#2

>I am noticing i don't hear a tone till i open the tuning gang halfway.

The position of the tuning capacitor should not have any effect on the IF frequency. If you are using a service grade generator check it's frequency output w/a well calibrated receiver. If the receiver doesn't go down to 456kc listen for the generator's 2nd harmonic 912kc. You need to be sure that you are aligning the IF @ the proper frequency.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
