It hits distortion at about the middle of the control. Before that, it's just loud and proud.
Replacing resistors means maneuvering around other brittle wiring that goes up into the IF cans, which are riveted together internally (you can't just remove the shell and rewire them, or I would have). Not to mention wax coils that bubble up FAST when you hit the terminals with a soldering iron. I've got much of it rewired, but a lot of this wiring was done during assembly.....and difficult to get to *if* the radio had led a kinder life.
The whole idea here is like heart surgery on a 90 year old patient. As minimally invasive as possible.
