I have almost completed the restoration of a Philco 38-5 big beast and am having a volume problem. The volume seems to bounce up and down and I can't figure the cause. I have already installed new caps and tested resistors and also have substituted all the tubes with no help. The radio plays great with tremendous volume and has been aligned already. The VC has been substituted as well.
Any ideas? It does this randomly.
