Philco 42-355 speaker and field coil replacement
#12

Bob, if you can't get anything below 1100 KHz, and it is not just a lower frequency station at the wrong place on the dial, you might want to check your oscillator coil and any fixed capacitors connected to it. Do the same with the broadcast antenna coil.

Inspect all the lead wires to make sure none are broken. Coil wires are pretty small and break easily but often where you can see them. Make sure you have continuity from all terminals to pin 1 on both. Note that the resistance is really low, so much over an ohm indicates trouble.

Check the tuning condenser and the compensator caps. Make sure all the solder joints are good and that you have good ground connections.

I have more troubleshooting suggestions. but I don't have the time to write them up at the moment. Let me know how it's going if you are still following the thread.
