Zenith 6D-815
#1

I have a Zenith Model 6D-815 that came out of my sister's estate and as I was looking it over I noticed the electrolytics were replaced at some point as were all other capacitors. I discovered two of the tubes weren't up to snuff after checking them out in my EICO 625 and replaced them.

It has a real scratchy volume and stations weren't very perceptible...only a few and the volume control was stiff. I sprayed contact cleaner in it and it's still stiff but I can get 4-5 stations but not all that clear due to the sound of eggs frying, particularly between stations.The volume acts like it wants to go up but doesn't unless you purposely turn it up. It's like something's not making contact somewhere. There were no burned resistors Anything else to look for?
