Philco 89 Lower Frequencies
#9

Sorry about all the messages I'm leaving. I'm just trying stuff and letting you know. I got my cheap scope out and put the probe on the stationary oscillator section of the tuning cap. I saw the frequency change from one end of the dial to the other. After removing the probe I find the radio plays from one end of the dial to the other. I don't get it. The scope is as basic as you can get so I have no idea what I was seeing. It just quit again. Put the probe back on and I see the waveform stops shortly before 1000kc but I pickup strong stations very weak until about 900kc. What I see on the scope between 900 and 1000 is the frequency does not change but after 900 the scope goes flat line. The probe is a low capacity probe scope on a Conar kit I built.
