Philco 60 Higher Frequencies
#1

Hello, Working on a Philco 60 where the AM band stops receiving at about 1450 kc. It just goes silent except for slight noise at full volume. I have to tune the radio back to about 1300 kc before it will start again. I have checked for plates touching and found none. I have rewound the troublesome oscillator coil with 18 turns of #40 wire as it was open. The SW band does not work either. Maybe same problem. Other than that the radio plays quite well. Any ideas? 

Thank you,
Dan
