I have restored a Hallicrafters S-29, but sensitivity appears to be less than what I'd expect on the broadcast band. Making some signal generator measurments (on any band), it takes about 3000 microvolts at the antenna to ground terminal to get a reasonable signal level, and at 1000 microvolts, it is just "hearable". A signal into the 455kc chain gives a good output at about 100 - 300 microvolts.
I have aligned it per manual instructions (I believe), and the voltages at the filaments and plates of the 1T4 and 1R5 all seem within bounds.
I realize it would be good to know what to expect as a sensitivity for, say, the broadcast band of this radio. I have not been able to find this figure anywhere.
Can anyone help guide me?
