Sounds like a drum!

I finally have the 116 back. It's reception isn't as good as the 37-665B. I believe the antenna maybe too hot or there's a misalignment (easy to do on this HOT radio). I get low volume then a loud pop and full volume. Loose tube in socket? Intermittent audio tube?

This radio has glorious tone and lots of volume. I can't believe some company hasn't made one like this recently. Only a wide IF would improve this impressive instrument.
