Questions about model 14 and 17 Chairside radios
#9

I took note of the Philco Service Tips in Chuck's site and replaced the "good" 36 tube with another "good" 36 tube, and now have good reception throughout the entire broadcast band! Weird about those dang 36 tubes. Now I remember why I never liked the model 19/89 sets that I had, as the 36 tube/oscillator circuit always seemed to be an issue.

BTW now I am looking at Ron's section about replacing the 36 with a 6A7. Hmmmmmm...
