Rather than start another new model 89 thread, I thought I'd post this here, as we're both at about the same place in our restorations. Had to rewind the primary on the RF coil and the tickler on the OSC coil, as they both were open. The set was completely recapped and all resistors replaced as well. Now I get only one station... but only if I touch the grid cap of the #36 tube with a lead from the antenna (or even with just my bare finger!). The station comes in between 650 and 750 on the dial, and can be heard faintly on the opposite end of the dial as well around 1100 or 1200. In between, the set will motorboat or squeal around 900. So far, adjusting the trimmers makes no difference. Am kind of at a loss as to why the set isn't receiving more or at louder volume. If anyone has any ideas on what to check or what could be the culprit I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
