Did it shut the volume off all the way before you did the replacement? Or maybe the control was too noisy/erratic to tell for sure(?).
Generally radios with that kind of vol control setup will exhibit the behavior you describe. Signals from strong local stations get into the RF stages directly, bypassing the rheostat. But if the set has an all metal case, it should prevent this. Does the AK 37 case close up completely?
