I have taken classes in electronics and barely missed getting my 2nd class FCC license but that was in the early 1970s.

I'm trying to remember as much as possible and sometimes the explanations given here are a bit too technical for me to understand completely.

This radio, by my understanding, has 7 tuned circuits in the broadcast band with 3 in the tuning gang, two in the IF stage and 4 more in between the stages.  Am I close?
