I purchased a Magnavox 8803 recently. I powered it up yesterday, and also hacked together the 390 ohm resistor update. It has almost no gain, and what I hear is distorted.
I've hooked it up to my signal generator and to my scope, but the best example I can give is that, hooked up to my phone, I have to turn the volume on the phone all the way up, and even then the volume is very low.
I did note that the voltage on pin 7 and 6 of the 6EU7 tubes is much lower than it should be. Around 105 volts instead of 150/170.
Could this be the culprit? And, if so, is the next step to replace the capacitors in the can?
Thanks!
