Voltage draw on 40-185
#1

I am restoring a 40-185; all the caps and rubber wiring has been replaced; the set has been aligned and plays well with only some minor audio distortion. I have checked the voltages on the tubes and discovered they are about 20 to 30 volts low. I have also found the RF Coupler #13 on the Riders is only reading .5 ohms and should be at 3.5. Would this cause my low voltage? Can I rewind the RF coupler, and if so how to do it and what wire size should is use? If this could not be causing my voltage draw, then what else should I look into.

Thanks
