I have a used President Andrew J. that is great shape in all other aspects except that it will not receive on channels 1-6; but it will transmitt on all 40 and receive on channels 7-40. I would love to get this radio functioning properly. The board number is a PC-417 and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 

This is just a President 25GTL.

This would be a good start:

If you have a volt meter you need to set the radio to Channel 40 receive, find test point 2 and attach the meter between TP2 and ground. Carefully adjust L15 until you see 3 volts at TP2. When the radio is keyed the voltage at TP2 should jump up to 5 volts.

A frequency counter and scope would be ideal for a full alignment of the synthesizer section.
