Tubes check good, but audio is weak and distorted. Before I try and untangle all those interconnects, does anyone have a schematic or Sams? I think it's sams 569-16.

Title says it all... every cap replaced and I'm still getting AC noise thru audio. Haven't done the selenium yet but that's next. (X338 is the same as the C845)

This isn't the only radio this has happened with... it's almost like the last couple recap jobs went for nothing.

Where do I go from here? Of course ARF is no good again... posted there but with it down all the time I gave up.

Thanks,
