[/b][/u]I'm another newbie, with a dilemma. I guess I know just enough to be dangerous. The problem is; no Fm reception. I'm working on a Philco 53-956. I've replaced all the paper capacitors that I can see. I've also replaced the multi-section can capacitor. The AM sounds good and strong, but when I switch to Fm...nothing. I gently cleaned the wafer switch connections and even attached an external antenna to the two screw connections on the back. But still no joy. Can someone provide a few basic trouble shooting steps to resolve this problem? I just started learning, so any suggestions would be appretiaited.
