[Hot Rod]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! 

• I aligned the radio "by ear".  I know, I know, but I don't have the proper equipment.  There was no appreciable improvement and I didn't move anything much, if at all. Just wanted to see if something was grossly out.
  
• I only checked the easy to get to band coils.  I will check all this weekend.
  
• I'll check the tweeter VCs voltages too.  That one was on my list.  
  
• I didn't suspect the antenna itself because I have others that perform normally with the same antenna.  
  
• I thought about 6L6 voltages but didn't know what to expect (lack experience).  Thanks for the detailed advise!
  

Thank you all!  Let me know if you guys think of anything else.  I'll post my own findings this weekend.
