I measured the volume pot and it all measures correct. Has a smooth resistance change from the swiper to either end. Have narrowed it down to right before the volume spike, the volume goes quiet, then jumps. It is super smooth from the lowest volume to around 2/3 if the range, then the volume goes quiet, then a tiny bit more and boom, the volume goes super load and is distorted. The volume can still go higher and get louder, but the sound is horrible.. maybe I just have a bad volume pot on the upper end. The normal local stations have good volume at the lower 2/3 but weaker stations, when turning the volume up to hear them, it gets to that spot and the sound gets over powered and distorted. Maybe I’ll just leave it instead of racking my brain… for everything else, it is very sensitive, with great sound.
