GE 115 troubleshooting
#1

I have a GE 115   http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...007591.pdf

I have recapped and replaced any resistors out of spec. also replaced the vol pot they had a 150k in there instead of a 500k, Checked the tubes and there good. Did an alignment per the instruction I get a lot of stations but they all sound ragged (my term) or over modulated. I did a voltage check and all the numbers come in 15/20%. I did the Voltage check with the gang closed and the vol at min. I have also changed all the tubes as I had spares but it made no difference so I put the originals back.
  Now the original with the loop was gone but I have a back with loop from another GE 423   http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...007675.pdf
Will this work? What am I missing?

Eric
