It's possible, but first a question -

Is this an early model 70 with the dual volume control (250 ohms and 5000 ohms, wirewound), or the late version with a single 500K volume control?

If the former, some distortion is normal because of the "power detector" used in the early model 70 as well as other older Philco sets. This has been a topic of frequent discussion here.

Are all the tubes good?
