Volume getting lower?
#1

7/25/14 I have restored a 53-1750 radio phonograph console. All new caps & resistors - the thing WAS working great for a couple of months, but recently has a noticeable decrease in maximum volume. No buzz, no nothing else, just won't go as loud all of sudden. This applies to both the radio and the phonograph volume. Does that sound like anything in particular? Tubes test good. I tried jiggling the phonograph/radio switch, the volume switch - any ideas?? Tubes in this set include:
50Y7GT, 35L6GT, 7c6, 7B7, 7A8. Thanks.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
