Hi, I am planning to restore the above as and when I can get hold of the
components.
The radio receives lw/mw and 6 sw bands.

It was working ok and then the volume suddenly dropped to about half that it
should be, the potts have been cleaned and are not noisy.

The radio picks up all the channels it did previously but it is quiet and
turning the volume pott up or down does pretty much nothing.

Could anyone point me in the general direction of which component/s to look
for as the culprit/s?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

I will post the schematic on alt.binaries.schematics.electronic entitled
'Pye P35 Schematic'

Thanks for any help guys.

1. go on a cap change, especilyl wax and hunts caps - most common
reason for poor sound etc
2. check there are no resistors altered in value on the grids.
3. Paul stenning's uk vintage radio site/ forum is a mine of info on
this. you can buy cd roms of the service data for cheap
