The original rectifier is a selenium. If you replace it with a silicon rectifier you should increase R33 by about 100 ohms or add a resistor. You will want to check the voltage chart for the 12AT7 plate voltage and adjust the resistor value accordingly. If someone already replaced the rectifier with a silicon then put your new one in and check if a resistor was added. FM front end amps are usually sensitive to variations in B+.
