Try reversing the phase of the audio by swapping the output leads of the
modulation xfmr.
Asymmetrical modulation? And too much in the negative direction is the
flat line.
Weak tube in the audio chain causing lack of gain needed for the
positive peak.
I understand what I'm trying to say. I reserve my right to say it wrong!

The now problem seems to be that I just can not seem to get 100%
modulation no matter what mic I use.
When I adjust the scope so the carrier is +/- 1 div, I can never get
it quite to +/- 2 and 1.5 is pretty typical.
On the other hand, I have no trouble getting a flat line between
cycles with too much audio which I understand is the indication for
over modulation.
I am using a audio generator at 1 kHz talking to an earphone, against
the mic. The modulation meter can easily be pinned if I use an
amplified mic but it has no effect on the top of the envelop.
What does all this mean?
