I have a 60 also, recently acquired, thanks to Epay. I also have the model just a little newer. Only difference I can see is that is uses 35W4 and 50C5 tubes instead of the 35Z5 and 50L6. Have you found the problem yet? Thoughts on the problem: This radio originally used metal tubes in all but the Rectifier and Audio out. Does it have glass tubes instead and could it be a shielding problem? Can you produce the problem by making interference intentionally? Have you tried using a signal tracer to find the source? A bad "NEW" cap? Bad ground? Intermittent and static problems can be miserable! My 2 cents...
