It's been three years since this Philco 116X-2 has been started. The cabinet was redone nicely. The "friendly" Papillion electronic repair shop royally "half-assed" attempted repair on the chassis and said it was completed charging $500 dollars. Walter Beers found numerous caps and resisters unchanged: some left hanging. Also, Walter attempted repairs on the grinding tuning.

Walter says that the upper part of the AM band barely plays. There are numerous pops and poor reception: shadow tuning is weak. Two tubes, one of which the rectifier, were replaced. He says the amplifier runs acceptably. He attempted realignment but failed.

Someone have an idea whats wrong? After 3 YEARS I'd like to get this wonderful radio, I was lead to purchase by "Mr. Philco", Home and playing before either I die or run out of money.

Can someone please help?
