I completely restored this radio inside and out--and it's a beautiful little set that plays quite well. I had to replace it's output transformer and rewire the main transformer. It was quite dirty when received. The problem is when it's playing, the volume decreases down to about half the db.-then back up on it's own- all within several seconds. When it warms up, it (usually) doesn't do that any more. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!!!
