How does the connections go?
I currently have a modern 3 prong power cord on the radio...
I'll look about the 15k resistor for FM, but what bothers me most right now is phono.
I have connected a preamp between the changer and radio, and if I crank the volume too much I start getting distortion. I am pretty sure that's the 7AF7 being overdriven.
I'll look at voltages around the 7AF7 and 7X7 to see if something is off, and work the caps around them.

The cutout is for the speaker. Here's a photo from a different set.
