1960 Zenith C845Y Issues
#7

Here's a video of what the radio is doing currently, as I said the audio is very weak sounding (when the volume control is at 1/4 volume the audio is barely audible and when its at 1/2 volume, it's very distorted and there's a little bit of an audible hum in the background that is contributing to the distorted audio, and the hum is adjustable with the volume control so its not filter cap hum, because the hum actually goes away when its switched to the AM Band, but the badly distorted audio doesn't.

See video link below to see what I mean by the audio quality being absolutely horrendous on this thing.
