I connected my tape deck to the pot as stated with a .01 cap between. Volume is still low. Maybe I am expecting too much out of the radio. Full volume is way louder than I would want to listen too. It is not distorted at full volume. Other Philco radios I have worked on normal volume is about one third or less. The AVC and non peaking IF concerns me.
