Philco 38-4
I just completely recapped this set, resistors were within tolerance, and I am very happy how it now receives. Impressive audio booms in, tone switch completely functional, sounds great! The only problems are that there is still a low hum and the low end of the band does not seem to receive as well as the upper end.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I saved 8 console radios from the dumpster and have acquired a great passion for these beautiful radios.  This is my first complete re-cap. I know I have so much to learn and appreciate the help. Could I add additional filter caps? Or, I see mention of isolating the hum by removing tubes, what would the procedure be for that?
