For a starter, I'd try to measure just how much current is going through the B+ using an old-fangled ammeter. Anything over 50-75 m.a. wouold be suspect. Suba P.M. speaker and see if the audio is clear. I assume you are meauring from B- to point in question, or however the schematic you have says how to do it.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
