Now that I saw that the 80 is the tube for it, I will leave it in. Boy does it get hot: this one is the small cylindrical envelope ny Ratheon and I seared my fingers a bit trying to take it out.
The speaker sounds beautifully, thanks Rich!
Now the only band I hear is the BC, the other two are silent.
Another thing, the AC hum. I checked it and could see the wire connecting the wiper of the volume pot to the output cap is picking up the hum as I move my hand near it. Could be due to the increased value of the pot. I think I will try shielded wire. And the wire runs exactly where it did before, so no new influences. Shielding might help.
Will see later.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
