I have an RCA 85T, I'v recapped all the paper Caps, I used 10 Mfd Electrol. for C 18 C19 and C20 (was 8, 5, and 5) No static but when I tune 89 and higher on the dial the volume drops considerabilly. All stations track there place on the dial. do i have an A.V.C. problem ? or something else ? can any one steer me in the correct direction ?
b.t.w. I replaced the power Transformer, it was leaking wax.
Thank you for any and all help !
Jack
