Have checked voltage across shadow meter. On the strongest station with 30 feet of indoor wire antenna it gets as low as 1.6 volts. Off station is about 4, 5 volts if I really hunt for a dead spot. All tube shields missing due to this came with metal versions of same tubes for r.f. and. i.f. tubes.
I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
