Not receiving all stations on AM
#21

Looks like I also had a bad output transformer, causing the static. One side had about 155 ohms ,the other was about 5 ohms... I had another so I changed it and now it has ALOT less static. Maybe it will also let me hear the tone better now and I can align it easier. The only thing, the other one was apprx. 150 ohm on each side but the schematic says 310 on one side and 280 on the other. Should I try to find another or is this good? Would this be a reason I don't seem to get all the stations I should? I still seem to get a little hum.. don't know if its from not pulling in the station good (antenna?). I do receive a some stations well with no hum or static now.
