[NJARC] AK89

[pvourtsis at optonline.net]

Jim and Al,
   I replaced the RF tube and now I get a good signal on the grid of the RF tube,
but still not a good signal from the antenna terminal. I guess that means the coil must be open
or partially open? Also, on a loud station the volume control does not reduce the volume adequately.
