Crosley 66TC bad Transformer.
#8

Ok here is an update and new problem. Got the transformer for $16.50 from "Play Things of the Past" got it installed I'ts a bit bigger but plenty of room. Wired it in but got a lot of static with a couple of faint stations and low volume so I did a voltage check and found an open resistor no voltage pin 6 plate on the 6SQ7 (#7 330k) which had a 390k which was open. replaced it and a few others that were way over %15. Problem is with the volume at it's lowest I still get a fair amount of sound. I isolated the pot and I get 935k which it calls for 1 meg so I'm good there, I did notice that
Wiper to the top of the pot is 545 to 935k
Wiper to the bot is 2.2k to 935k
What would cause the vol when it is turned all the way down?

Getting there!
