thanks, Morzh, arran....all the tubes were checked, and replaced as well, the volume pot meaures ok on a ohmmeter but I didnt test it under any load.
The IF adjustments dont make it any better, they are loudest at their origional positions.
ill get back into it and focus on checking out the voltages and resistance inside IF transformers and their associated caps and resistors.
