I suspect that with both the new pot and that resistor in place your B+ supply voltages will be better behaved, and this could possibly improve your weak reception.

Thank you for the suggestion. I went ahead and ordered two rheostats and two resistors so I'd have a spare set. Does it matter which side of the pot I put the resistor on?
According to the tracking number, the package from Surplus Sales is on schedule to arrive tomorrow. I'm looking forward to install!
