Hi Joe,

My ol' "...just plain R-4" receiver here plays nicely at the 9:00 level...

Have you checked the tubes in the AF chain of your R-4B...? What about 
voltage/resistance checks of all the audio stages...?

  Subject: [Drakelist] R-4A low audio output


  I have a 13-tube, R-4A receiver that is an excellent performer and fun radio 
to use – except for one issue: the audio output seems to be a bit low: Is it 
normal to have the volume control at nearly 1 o'clock for normal, comfortable 
listening? Other Drake and non-Drake receivers seem to have a comfortable audio 
level about 9 o'clock. Is there a way to boost this receiver's audio output or 
is there something obvious to check? Any suggestions always appreciated. Thanks 
in advance and happy holidays to all the Drake list folks.
