Hallicrafters SX-62 - low volume
#1

I got this SX-62 up and running today. Replaced the filter cap, some resistors. New power cord. The tubes tested good - just barely. I installed a fuse block, but decided not to hook it up and just have it wired as original. It pulls .6 amps at 112 volts with no transformer heating after 30 minutes. 

This works well, but the volume seems low. I’m currently attributing this to worn out 6v6 tubes. 
I’ve sourced an original audio transformer if needed. 
I expect also have more bad resistors to find, but at least I’ve established basic functionality and not wasting time on something with a blown transformer
