I'm afraid that problem has me stumped also.
I get fairly good volume all the way up, but, slight decrease in control, means major decrease in audio volume.
I've replaced micas, tubes, spkr., which had also been blown, resistors, and, checked voltages, which appear to be proper.
Vol. control appears good.
No shorts, just not performing well.
I'll look at that problem more when I get back on vertical, and, horiz. osc. issues.
Other than that, set has been completely stable.

I have an Admiral with low volume. I changed out the 6SQ7 1st audio for a 6SN7 and add another stage. Works great now. I think your RCA uses a 6AV6 1st audio you may want to try a 6J6.
