Philco 116B No radio reception
#5

Yes I have the alignment procedures to follow, and I figured out that the oscillator is running but way off from where it should be as I was able to hook my signal generator up to the antenna jack on the back of my radio and then run a 375 kHz signal into the radio in the longwave mode and it was picking up the signal loud and clear. I was able to in Broadcast (AM Band) mode get a 1600 kHz signal through the Antenna jack on the back of the radio by adjusting the Broadcast Oscillator, Antenna and R.F. adjustments which were way off.

I'm currently attempting to redo the IF Adjustment but I can't get the 460 kHz IF Frequency to come through very loud through the grid cap of the 1st Detector Tube on this unit, its only coming through barely audible.

Also I will definitely need a new power switch assembly for my radio as my power switch is permanently stuck in the on position, no amount of beating on the switch knob or hitting the back of the switch will shut the switch off.
