Hi Fellas,I need some help...
My problem is the sound is crisp and clear with medium loudness with the volume turned all the way down...when volume is turned up it stays around the same loudness (maybe a little lower) but the sound gets a little muffled and has quite a bit of bass. I took apart the volume/on-off switch completely and cleaned it with deoxIt D5, wiped it dry,then pryed up the 2 contacts a hair. The channels all line up on the dial and come in very good. I tried swapping out the tubes one at a time. I also changed all but 1 resistor (inside I.F.trans), rebuilt all 3 bakelites and changed all caps. I'm not great with schematics... and still a newbie on radios. Any help would be appreciated.
