Hi Bill, I did notice that turning the L38 sound discriminator trans increases the volume level.This is the can that sits catty corner right beside where the antenna plugs into the chassis connector. Perhaps I should max it out and my trouble will be gone. To the expert (you) I may sound stupid but I am just being honest about my skills and knowledge. With that said I will add that I usually avoid turning adustments that I know require an oscilloscope for proper realignment. Reason? I don't know how to use one. I guess at this point it would be a wonderful thing to learn. My current skills leave me at the mercy of hoping for good results from factory settings that hopefully nobody has fooled with. I have an old tube type scope with no leads. I always figure old test equipment likely needs as much restoration as the devices I am trying to fix.

So can I safely adjust this L38 for max volume without causing harm to some other component or the trans its self?
