First, thank you to everyone for their assistance with this radio. Here's the latest:
Went through every component again and did find a resistor that was about 45% higher than it should be. Replaced that item and moved on. I tried a different speaker again - no change in sound. Even though I had already checked the tubes I decided to replace the audio tube again anyway. BINGO! The sound is acceptable. Goes to show that even a tube that tests well may not actually be a good tube.

The simplest things...
