I feel your pain. I had an intermittant issue wiith my 38-665. Lost volume/reception. When I placed a screwdriver on the 6A8, cam in loud and clear. Hmmmmm, RF deck prob.
Turned out to be one of the very thin wires in the RF Unit portion of the RF deck was broken and making intermittant ctc. I repaired this, and since I had the d**n deck out of the radio I replaced the caps deep in the deck, which was somthing I had been putting off until the Radio Fairy blessed me.
Plays well now. Worth the effort, but those RF decks are a pain in the ____ (thing one sits on).
