I got this radio a few days ago and went through it cleaned it
completely
out, resoldered several connections that looked bad, replaced power
cord
and speaker. The phono input works great and i have crystal clear
sound
almost, but on am all i get is a little static and poping, and on fm
i
hear no static at all it will pick up one fm station but no where
near the
correct volume. i assume its probably a bad resistors and or
capacitors?
could this be a faulty tube? they all glow. does anybody have a
schematic
for this set? several of the caps and resistors have worn markings
and the
backplate only lists the tubes and transformers. There is also a
transformer right before the speaker (two output wires from amp to
one
side and the other two go directly to the speaker, this is not a
speaker
that requires a field connection also either so its on the audio
side)
this doesnt even appear to be original bc it was just set in there
where
the orig was supposed to be and the wires are taped, is this
necessary? i
know newer devices do not have these? is there a generic replacement?

You should be able to find the schematics for almost all old radios at:

http://www.nostalgiaair.org

They have the Riders manuals, on line, there.

There is also a newsgroup devoted to antique radios:

rec.antiques.radio+phono

To search the ARCHIVE of newsgroup messages, going back to about 1980,
go to:

http://groups.google.com

By the way: That site is probably the best on-line information resource
that I've ever found, for LOTS of kinds of information.

Good luck!
