37-650 Issues
#13

It has never gotten read loud- except on one or two very close(and strong) radio stations, and even those would not be as loud as normal.

I just went back and checked my pre-op photos of the volume control, and it very definitely connects between the RF subchassis ground point on the Antenna section, and the antenna #3 or GND terminal, with the same wire also grounding the no.1 terminal on bakelite cap no. 32.

I just went and rechecked all my tubes, and one 6K7G(RF amp) has a short indicated on the 8 & 9 pins. Intermittant, but there none the less, so I swapped in a spare. I now have a burr on AM band, but no reception as such. Sounds like electric razor interference... The tone changes with frequency change on the am band- higher freq, faster noise, lower, slower... If I touch the top terminal of the 1st audio tube(6K5GT) it also changes dramatically. becomes a more pronounced wuhh-wuhh-wuhh. Touching any other top terminal just dampens it a little. No action on the sw bands, at all... Burr was there before I swapped tubes, just to clarify.

Old Cars, Old Radios, Old Pipes and Young Women... What more is there?
