After putting it all back together, I ran through the alignment procedure and the coils seemed to peak well.
However, the volume is still pretty weak on the broadcast band and fades away even more after a few minutes to where I can barely hear it. Sometimes I can get a big volume boost if I stick my finger on the 6A8 cap, but other times it has no effect at all.
The antenna and IF transformers check out OK and all the DC voltages are dead on. There were only two mica caps which I replaced and it made no difference.
Any thoughts ?
