Hallicrafters SX-62 - low volume
#4

Today the volume was gone. Had done nothing but replace resistor on sensitivity control.?

I think this salvaged audio transformer the previous owner had just died.
I’ve sourced the correct audio transformer which I’m installing. Of course the colors have faded in the wiring so I’m having to make best guess as to what was originally red.

So does this happen to other people? You repair the radio correctly - undoing the bad repairs - and parts simply die like they don’t want to work anymore?

This radio does work, had low volume - replacing audio transformer and all tubes - hoping it brings it back to full volume.
