Philco Model 52GC
#7

So, issues appear to be with me or my equipment.  After following the alignment procedures again, I find a slightly auditable signal at the high end of the band.  I went back to the IF Transformers and adjusted them just based on the sound output and started to hear a better output.  I have the high end and midrange sounding ok but very low output at the     low end of the band.  Again, not sure if it's me, something in the radio or my equipment.  Frustrating  Ahhhhh  :-)
