Philco 45 - One Last Problem
#1

I finished the re-capping including the tone control block, but it still has the same problem before the re-cap job, ie. volume/reception is near dead.

Originally the radio played well until for a couple of days the volume started to die until the radio went mute except for some light static. I can now take an adjustment stick (plastic stick with metal tips) and tap the 6A7 grid cap and get perfect volume and reception. I can trace the grid cap wire and tap connection at the bandswitch... perfect volume reception, and all the way to first connection of the wave trap. tap again, and get the same result... perfect volume and reception.

I know I'm almost there..... Can someone give me a starting place to determine fix for this condition?

Thanks,
Britt Abbott
