Philco 41-285 wiring issue

A little solvent contact cleaner might improve the volume control... is it scratchy sounding?

Another experiment that you might try is to hook an external speaker between pin 1 (speaker) and pin 3 (ground) of the antenna terminal ... if it is much louder than the one in the cabinet, it could indicate a problem with the old speaker.

Since I do not have a tube tester, I pluged in the radio and shut off the light.
I can see all the tubes do have a glow. So even though that is true..could one of the tubes be a problem in not getting a loud volume?
The volume control works but all the way up it is not even half of what my Zenith puts out.
Just wondering if there is a certain tube to look at.

Could be. Could be alignment. Could be a number of things. I may have asked this before, but what part of the country are you located in?
