GE Model 210 AM Sensitivity
#1

I'm continuiong the discussion on the GE 210 from the "August Finds and Losses" to here where it is probably more appropriate.  Mr. Fixr, I have done the resistance measurements for the first and second AM IF transformers.  They conform to the given values of 15 ohms on both the primaries and secondaries.  I recleaned the band switch and measured the continuity thereof and contact is securely made, both AM and FM.  I found a connection from the Variable cap to the antenna that was loose and I re-soldered.  Very little change in sensitivity.  I will probably look at performing an alignment tomorrow.  I rarely align a radio if the tracking is only off a little, but that seems to be the next step.  Thanks to all who have contributed to finding an answer to this problem.  Joe

Courage will follow when Faith takes the lead.
