Magnavox 151b audio

Hello im new in here just signed up today! I have a E.H.Scott Philharmonic 30, a Collins R-391 serial#29, Hallicrafters SX-17, Hammerlund SP-600-JX 17 ..I have complete set of Arc -5 rx and tx for hf. Just got a Magnavox 151b #168589 style C103-236 date code 47625..I got it for 8 dollars! I just got a Meissner model 9-1091C to. All work except the SP-600 and all the Arc -5 stuff.. My Magnavox works but is very distored audio on it with hu recaped and i still have the distortion and hum. Any ideas on what to look for the radio is stamped CR-170 and inside cabinet the schematic is printed CR-197! So which number do i go by and which riders and sams is it in ? The radio is am, shortwave turntable is a 3 speed one.. I got the Meisner for 40 dollars. I picked up my Scott for 78 dollars back in 1978 while it was geting rained on outside! It sounds very nice chrome is pitted tho but not bad.. Any help on the magnavox be welcomed. The Meissner sounds ok but motorboats if you turn up the volume, that will be my next radio to fix.. I use a JRC NRD-535d for day to day use. I hope to post more and help out where i can in here its a great site found it yesterday thanks Angelo

The Meissner is in Sams 116-8. CR197 is in 37-11(1947) (no listing for CR-170). Look for a number on the amp - usually AMPxxx)
