Hello fellow radio friends 
Have a Zenith 9S367 that I have been working on restoring and have an issue with too much noise between stations. Seems like reception could be better if I compare it to my other radios which are located in the same room.
I have rec-capped it, replaced a few resistors, and tried twerking the alignment.
Alignment was pretty much right on just adjusting to the loudest position by ear.
Tubes are tested and any weak tubes were replaced.
Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
