Yes- with the antenna connected, it still has reasonably low volume- I have one good, strong local(about 15 mile) signal(1210AM- used to be WCAU) which comes in moderately loud, but everything else requires almost full volume. I might take a look at my speaker transformers- it looks like someone was monkeying with them at some point.


I don't have any signal generator, etc. test equipment, but I am waiting on word from a guy in Delaware who does recaps, to see if he'd tune her up, now the leg work is done...
