Have you replaced any components in the radio? Specifically the electrolytic and paper capacitors? These should always be replaced in a radio this old. The radio should be done first. Since the phonograph uses it for an amplifier, the phono will only work well if the radio does. BTW, I'm still a rookie at all this stuff and learning as I go. I have recapped a few radios with good results. And I've gotten a lot of help from people on forums like this one!
