How often do you find a 52 year old set that seems to be 100% original?
You might have to re-seat a few of the tubes in the audio circuit.
Check the quad detector and audio IF tubes. You might have to touch up the quad coil. You can do that with an off the air signal.
That's the reason, I still have analog cable. As I said before, once they quit furnishing analog signals, I'll have to discontinue having it.
