I haven't neutralized the RF sections yet, I have a few things to take care of first. I checked the B+ voltages and they are higher than documented recordings and the filament voltages are slightly higher. So I increased the primary dropping resistor value from 9 ohms to 34 ohms. This brought the voltage on the 90 year old primary winding to 112V and the B+ and filament voltages to where they should be. I discovered the 10K volume control to be erratic so I'll have to replace it. Without the control in the circuit the volume is very loud.

I want to get all the component issues out of the way then fasten the bottom to the chassis then do the neutralization because I noticed whenever I get close to the chassis with my hand the signal strength gets noticeably stronger.
