Hi Jack,
Hmmm Sounds like something you do to a plane, any way.... I've got a 1X591 which is pretty similar to your set. A radio buddy gave it to me cause it wouldn't play very loud. Ended up being a bad 2nd IF transformer. The circuit does have a bit of loudness compensation and with the larger 8" speaker it does sound better than a regular AA5. I'd bet that's why it has larger filters in it to kill off any 60 cy hum as most AA5's with a 4" speaker won't pass 60cys very well.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
