Well I guess I spoke too soon. I noticed this morning when I first turned on the radio it played well, after about several seconds the volume started to go down. Thought maybe a tube problem so I replaced each tube one by one. As I did the radio played normal and then shortly volume decreased. Not a whole lot but quite noticeable on weaker stations. Seems like an AVC problem but I don't know how to identify the AVC circuit. Does someone have a suggestion? All paper caps, e-caps and resistors have been changed.
