Well I ordered the inter-stage transformer and I installed it and brought it up slowly, it draws .3A at 115v and I get stations especially at the high end of the dial then it seemed to die off as I went lower so I added about 30 ft more to my antenna and attached the ground and got more volume and more stations at the lower end of the dial. I'm surprised at the clarity of the sound as I had never seen a speaker like that before.
Thanks to all for the help. Icon_thumbup
