I have the modification nearly complete.  Waiting for 35's from Bob.  The radio works with the 24's quite well except for very strong stations.  The AVC voltage gets to about -13 volts and I think it is starting to cut out the 24's.  AVC is working and I do believe the fuzz is gone from the audio.  Final judgement will be made when the 35's arrive.  I think it's going to be a major improvement.  My local electronic supply store had a 500K pot which fit well.  Unfortunately, it is linear taper, but still works acceptably.  I had to grind a flat spot on the shaft for the knob.

I'm a bit torn about making so many changes to the radio, certainly not very original. But, I'm thinking the performance improvements will make the radio more enjoyable to me.

Thanks Ed!!
