Thanks Jim, I will try another tube. I have about 45' of wire as an antenna, but it goes around the perimeter of the room, up and down a hallway about 16' above ground.

Alas, well I tried two different 6A7s and neither seemed to make much of a difference. SW still very weak. Could I have screwed something up when aligning the set? I would think that with the fixed cap for LF that there is not much one can do about the SW band on this set. Should I replace the 2100pF with the 1400pF the schematic calls for, or is that just chasing my tail?
