Ok Finished up the Capacitor replacement.. Replace some resistors also.. Brought up on variac .. at 120 Volts B+ is 90.5 volts..I used a 40 Ohm resistor.. at 120 Volts draws less then 300 ma.. So all is good there.. ON FM band stations come in load and clear all over dial.. BUT on AM only receive 1 station and only when I put my hand near the loop antenna..

Hopefully all it needs is a alignment on AM .. Any comments?

Thanks
