hello men and women:i picked up this radio at an auction.replaced caps and res. now the big question.how do i adj. to get in stations.i am new and have not got this far before.i bought a new signal gen.

I'm afraid that to try and advise you without knowing at what level of electronics expertise you might be at would be fruitless.

I would strongly advise that you familiarize yourself with basic radio theory and electronics theory.

An excellent way to get started is to purchase this book and thoroughly read and study it.

Before doing any adjustments. Need to find out why it's not working. Have you checked any of the B+ ? There are a lot of reasons why you do not get any stations. Be more descriptive in your next post. For now you should take a few voltage readings, and check continuity of coils and transformers.

:i have checked volts according to the prints.all okay.i do hear some voice on one sta very faint,sounds like it may be on short wave.the knobs were missing and the lettering on the radio is gone.really dont know where a.m. is located at which pos.
:

The schematic is showing the switch in the AM broadcast position. Follow the contact points in the switch as shown to antenna coils and oscillator. Middle position is police band, no longer used. Clean the switch real good. Check antenna and oscillator coils for continuity. It does need a loop antenna for AM band reception.

:this radio has 3 pos. on sw.one i think is am,2nd or middle is pol.band,and third is for push buttons.does this sound right.the radio had been messed with before i got it ,the if had been turned all the way out,i called the owner and he said that he turned them .caps went bad and he said that the sta.would not come in so he adj. them.

I believe on your radio, the push buttons are mechanical adjustment for the tuner. You would loosen the screw on one push button, manually tune in a station. Then tighten the screw for that preset. This preselect is for any band selected. There is no electronic adjustments at all there. Do you know if the oscillator is working ?

:i have been playing with my s.gen. and now have one faint sta. at the lower band .no s.gen pick up at higher band
