Joe -
I'd sub out the 6GX6 and the 6EH5 first. If no luck, (or if you don't
have tubes handy,) you could check R44 for value. A dried out C131 will
drop the gain considerably, you can bridge it with any electrolytic you
have handy to check. The cathode voltage should be pretty close to 3 volts.
Beyond this will take more investigation.

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.
