So whatever station is tuned in, its signal will 'beat', or heterodyne, against the osc, generating the Intermediate Frequency of 460 khz, which is then sent downstream, amplified and detected.

Um.. what does O.L. stand for?
Ok, that's what I figured.

O. L. I believe means OverLoad(ed).
Anyways that's just a guess, because every single Digital Multimeter I've ever owned always showed some variation of the O. L. designation for the "infinite" or "open circuit" reading on the multimeter display.

Anyways I think I'm going to need new Osc. and Ant. Coils, or at least an oscillator coil.
