I found a instruction manual for this set. I have as well re-capped it and it is playing. The manual has stated the set will experience interference on strong stations without a good antenna or ground hooked up. The manual was right. After hooking a good section of solid strand hook up wire across the local and antenna leads, the set performed much better. However, I've not hooked up a good ground yet. The range switch and volume control, when used in tandem, will get the volume under control and stations coming in loud and clear. However, the volume occasionally acts as if it's working in reverse, and will pop and hum as if there is something still amiss. Any suggestions? When I place my finger on the ground lead, the volume drops a little. The hum reducer still works beautifully and will take most hum or noise right out of a station coming in.
