I don't see any control knob in the back to adjust it. I was wondering whether this might be a weak tube. I haven't gone through and tested the tubes yet.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When inquiring about a particular set, always furnish the chassis number as well! Sears had so many suppliers, that one appears to be a rebadged Hallicrafters, full of those waxy, leaky capacitors.
