I have one that looks as if it could be the one in that picture. It used to blow 5U4s in a second. I got sidetracked and other than replacing some power supply capacitors the set remains dormant and needing a home. I also have a TC-127 with this chassis and I was curious about any intercarrier sound issues. I restored that one for all practical purposes with all new caps except ceramic discs, replaced out of tolerance resistors, tubes, etc. I guess repaired is a better word than restored as I did not refinish the cabinet or polish the chassis with naval jelly.
At any rate, ever since I got done with the set the volume level has been VERY low. I get super reception and what volume there is does seem to fine tune in sync with the best picture, but can hardly be heard across the room. I have only had one chance to snoop around with an ohm meter, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I guess I was hoping there are some trade sound secrets with these old RCAs.
Thanks
