Thank you for your reply. I pulled a speaker from a Philco 41-221 and received the same result. I used a signal tracer to trace the distortion. At the grid of the 35A5, the sound was clear. At the plate, it was heavily distorted. The sound from the speaker is barely audible, so even for a 1-watt radio, I believe it's way lower than it should be.
