I started to recap my S-38A by first  replacing the line filter. It all
went well and the connections are  solid.

I had something similar with an old battery operated tube farm  radio that 
happened to have short-wave.  Short-wave stations were weak and  BCB stations 
were good at one end of the dial and bad on the other.  What I  found was poor 
oscillator activity from one end of the band to the other.   It was easy to see 
with a scope.

A new pentagrid converter tube fixed  that!
