Terry,

The AVC seems to be working properly; varies from -2.5 to -3.5v depending on signal strength.

Now for something unexpected; I knew the resistance element of the original volume control was not smooth and measured ~800K vs correct 500K.
Upon replacement, the distortion disappeared!!??

Thanks for your help.

Another question - do you know of any source for the clear plastic tuning dial cover?
