FINALLY !!! I replaced C301 and R301 which gave minor improvement. Same with R306. Replaced R302 and things improved a good bit. Now have more volume out of the FM, more like what it ought to be.. I also got in the last of my resistors... the 2 watt 15K and 18K for the main power supply. Put them in, and re-tweaked things... now the radio is about as good as it will get. .... Hmmmm.... now which of my radios shall I restore next ? Maybe my Transitone PT-66...
