Probably got a head of my self.
I'm using a 8" ak speaker with a 2k field coil and I added a 500 ohm resistor and that gives me about 150 volts on the plates and the other voltages look good!

One thing I noticed is the volume is not very loud, I have replaced the vol with a newer pot as the old had dead spots in, it had a 150k and the one I put in reads about 170k which I think is ok.

I'm currently using it as I found it meaning using only one of the 41's. Is the weak volume because this. The audio transformer coils check good, and I use a 25' ant in my garage I get a good selection of stations just not enough volume do I need to give it a try and change it back?.

Where to look?
