Hello,

I've been working on a Philco 46-131. All the caps (except mica) have been replaced as was a bad resistor. The tubes were checked and replaced as necessary. Radio plays and receives stations without problem. The trouble is garbled audio. I can't get it to clear up even after alignment.

The one thing I did notice was 90 volts where I'm supposed to have 79. Could that be my problem? I am using my Silvertone Powr Shftr. My Silvertone battery radio works well on this. Now that I think about it I have another Philco battery radio that also has the same audio issue I never resolved. Perhaps this is the problem?

Thank you for any comments/suggestions.
