I'm restoring a Silvertone Model 1908. After re-capping, the radio works but is very noisy. Off station there is a loud buzz (~ 180 Hz). On station, the buzz is mostly gone but the audio is still not clean. AVC voltage is ~ -6V on a strong signal. Off station the buzz is louder than the station but the AVC is only - 3V. The buzz originates prior to the audio stage.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, of all the radios I've worked on, the Philcos are the easiest to restore and seem to work better than other brands.

Thank you.
