A little update, the radio is now working even better after acting a bit odd earlier today. Why? When I checked the tubes I somehow missed the original 12BE6 that was sort of hiding behind an IF can. It was pretty much like the rest of the original Channel Master tubes I pulled out, about kaput! I put in the last good, used 12BE6 I had and it now sounds and works even better so far. One of the 12BA6 sockets as one of the pin contacts floating up and down when I move the tube, so am glad I replaced the tubes now. I think I'll use it as a daily driver until it dies and then redo it or at least redo it after getting a few more Zeniths and the Panasonic done. My buddy is getting the point where he might stop redoing AM-FM radios as they can be really cranky and the cases of SMD are getting worse.
