Ok, my being picky is good. I actually had to put my ear to the speaker to hear it. The slightest increase in volume and it is undetectable. I just didn't want to cause any harm by letting it go like that. No additional inputs added and, because of very little free time, recapping took two weeks (literally replacing one cap a night) so I was slow and methodical (aka "picky"). Thanks for the reassurance. It's my first radio. Glad I didn't burn the thing up!
