Hi Ed,
Yeah, missing that decoupling cap would do it!!
Words and emos cannot do justice in praising the job you did on that radio; it is absolutely gorgeous and museum quality!!!!
Funny how this is only a 5 tube radio (well 6 tubes, but when you get down to it is there a big difference between a 6Q7 / 6SQ7 and a separate detector and 1st AF? Maybe there is.), but the performance on these things is outstanding!!
Again, fantastic job!! Now you SHOULD hold with furniture that talks!!
