I finally got the dial light wire repair done on the radio last night. While doing that, I noticed the two 78's on the right side of the chassis were not seated in their sockets properly. I must have somehow cocked them to the side when I put the shields back on earlier, so got them fully seated in. Then I gently moved one capacitor that looked a little to close to the chassis and put the radio back together. Well, it seems a lot happier now! With the tone control on the 'B' position and going to the short room antenna for the upper channels has solved its distortion issue in the house. Even its bass response is much better once I got the hum control adjusted again. (Actually cleaned it as best as I could last night as well). Now it's issue is back to the touchy volume control that it has always had. It is worn just enough to act up if I don't turn it just right. Cleaning helps, but it's still cranky at times.
