Arvin tube set - poor reception
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the list, somewhat new to old tube radios, but not radio enjoyment or collecting. My main radios are: GE Superadio (I-II & III) a Kloss Model One for the computer desk, and a older Marantz console in the living room. Although I have two more, older radios coming (A Zenith K731 & G730) yesterday, my first tube purchase; an Arvin model # 35248 (Walnut) arrived, and after a bit of cleaning and fussing the set is ready to play. My problem: very poor reception, especially on FM. What sort of antenna should I either fabricate, or buy? Obviously, I can't expect the clear and strong reception I get from my solid state radios...or can I? I can recall as a kid playing with my fathers old GE pedestal radio (all tube) and tuning in stations all over the country. Any help or advice would be appreciated. |
