philco 42-1012
#1

Hi guy's,
I would like to figure out why my Philco 42-1012 radio is not performing as it should.
It was re-capped about a year ago, and has never had the kind of volume that a 10 tube radio should put out.
When I got the chassis, it was a replacement for the original chassis that had a fried tranny.
Therefore, I don't know what condition the chassis was in as far it playing or not.
I just re-capped it and hoped for the best.
SInce getting it running again, it has never had good volume like it should.
If you crank it up to where it should be playing loud it just gets distorted without really getting loud.
I am thinking maybe bad resistors on the output tubes?
Or maybe low voltage from the tranny?
Not sure which of these tubes are for output?
Seems to pickup plenty of signals on all bands.
Any idea's from the Philco pro's?
Thanks
