Hi DConant,

I don't think that the extra 0.7 MOhm would make much difference. If the pot was supposed to be a 500KOhm, that may be an issue.

The only other thing I could think of is the tone switch. See if there is a major difference when stepped through the various positions. Is the sound good when an aux signal is injected? Is the aux signal stronger than the radio? Can it be made "too loud". If so, consider the amp to be working.

Best Regards,
