Presenting the Stromberg-Carlson 12A!
#18

I think that is what I tried and how the other guy did it. All I could find was the trimmer caps for the tuning condenser. One of them squawks at me any time I go near it. I barely touch it with the driver and it squalls and knocks everything back out of whack. My friend tried peaking it to 1400, but it just refuses to stay stable! It will work for a bit, then everything fades away to nothing and it goes back to acting the way it did before. This radio is going in a trade to my buddy later on this week. He has the space and time to let this thing set on the bench and figure it out. I've just reached my end with this set. Every time I try to work on it I either strain myself, burn myself, smash my fingers, or have an aching back. I have a healing burn on my arm from that last try. Went to reach for a tool and laid my forearm right across the two red hot 80's. Dang that hurt! When a radio keeps fighting you and injuring you, it's time to go! Besides, it won't be that far away.

No matter where you go, there you are.
