Hello:
I've got a farm radio RCA 24BT-1. All caps and most resistors have been replaced. The audio sounds a little distorted and weak, especially on a close local station. I replaced alll 4 tubes, and there was no difference.
The speaker and transformer look to have been replaced as wires are spliced and taped. The schematic says there should be 440 Ohms across the transformer input. Mine reads 49 Ohms... Would that little difference effect the audio quality?
Thanks to any that reply Icon_smile

Thanks to all for the feedback. As Arran said, it is probably an older replacement and yes it has a grid cap so I will ...georgetownjohn — 09:32 PM

It's possible that the red wire, actually a grid cap lead, is a very old replacement, I can't remember seeing a pre 1939...Arran — 09:18 PM
