Zenith 10-s-464
#1

I finished recapping this radio a few months ago and replaced the combination power/volume switch and the radio was playing good up to a few days ago. Now, after sitting unused for a few weeks it has hum that changes with the volume and the audio is distorted. I looked over the wavemagnet antenna and I don’t see any breaks in the wires. I also checked for continuity and all 5 connections on the plug make a connection inside the wavemagnet antenna. 
I’ve checked for B+ and it is present across both filter caps and I’ve retested all tubes and they’re good as well. I poked around with a plastic chop stick lokking for a loose connection or bad solder joint but found none. 
I’m thinking this is probably something simple that I’m overlooking but I’m not sure what to check next.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
