Atwater Kent 55c (late) Chasis Restoration
6/2/2012 12:29:53 PMgregg Pell
Am trying to restore an Atwater Kent 55c chasis for my Kiel Table. It's proving to be very fickle. Power supply is ok....tubes ok but no rf getting in. There is a local/ distance switch that is also very fickle.
Wondered if anyone has restored a 55c and what issues they have encountered.

I looked at the schematic.

Check the continuity of the input RF gain control ( antenna variable resistor) and the continuity of the input antenna coil ( antenna and tube side ). If any of these are open, you won't get reception.
