I finally finished replacing all the old paper capacitors, the electrolytic capacitors and the bakelite capacitors yesterday, put everyting back together and POWER ON! Hey! It works! Even my wife was surprised!

I have two questions about the function,
1. The volume is very low. Even when I pick up a strong station (AM) I have to turn the volume up all the way to hear it without putting my ear on the speaker.

2. On the AM range, I get a lot of stations up to about 700, and nothing higher than that.

Any suggestions? I can also pick up stations on the medium and short wave ranges, but they are also very faint.
