Hello again,
Many thanks to all who replied.  Very helpful.  John and Marty thought it
might be C-5, the 3 ufd cap on the RF gain line, and by golly it was.  It
was leaky big time.  Removed the cap and now the set is playing just the way
it should. I'll see if I can scounge a C-5 cap from a parts set, but if not
will replace it with a 3 ufd,300WVDC new cap.  It'll probably be small
enough to put under the original C-5 and you'd probably never see it unless
you were looking for it.
73's,
-tom
