I have completed replacing all the caps and out of spec resistors in this radio and added a resistor parallel to the volume control as suggested by Mondial. Also, the oscillator and antenna coils were rewound.

I aligned the radio today and it is working. I am able to pick up local stations satisfactorily but nothing that is 60 or 70 miles away. I only have an antenna that is about 30 feet long and am wondering if this could be the problem or should I be looking someplace else.

I do not have the tube shield for the 78 tube yet. Does the presence of the shield affect alignment? What kind of problems occur with no shield in place?

Thanks, Bob
