I suppose I am like a lot of other guys on these forums. I have not have any training in radio repair , or electronics.
So I don't understand a whole lot of the in and outs of how everything works. So to answer your question,
I did not know that the radio had a signal strength indicator. Sorry about that.

I guess I just replace the caps,check the tubes,and resistors ,clean the pots, and align the radio.
When it works OK after that I basically leave it alone.
It is my hobby , and I do enjoy it , but I am learning more about radios every day, and I hope it keeps me young.
I did enjoy looking at your site very much
Thanks
