Went back to post 46 I believe and you indicated you adjusted the IF coils and received a peak and tone correct? So it sounds like your generator is working with an internal tone nice.
Now if your saying that you set you generator up to say 1000KC center of the AM band and hook it to your antenna and ground on the back you can't get any tone out of the speaker while tuning around 1000 KC with the radio dial? Make certain your band selector on the radio is in the broadcast band mode.
