I found that the prior owner put "grounding" on 78 that was damping my tuning. Also I did what I stumbled on from other restorations and I replaced some of the wires related to the tuning capacitor and the speaker. Then I was able to get enough signal to use the recommended tuning procedure documented by this site. Now I have several stations but the volume is very low, but decipherable. The the volume control works but I am missing amplification. So that's my situation. This is progress for me but I don't know if it applies to you. If someone has ideas on amplification - I would appreciate it. I'm so close I don't want to go backwards. Rich
