Have this thing re-capped now and it does play.
I don,t seem to have the volume I would like,and if you turn it up to about 1/2 volume it starts getting distorted and the volume does not really go up.
Someone replaced the volume switch with a combe on/off/volume switch due to a bad switch on the off pushbutton.
I wonder if the switch is under-rated for that chassis,or if there could be something else I should be looking at like maybe a tube?
This one has been a bear for a newbie like me to work on.
Any idea's?
Thanks again,
murf
