I recently aquired a nice RME 4350 receiver. I cleaned a lot of dust & dirt
out of it. Cleaned & relubed the vernier tuning knob(some of the balls are
missing), tightened some slipping shaft couplings, put a drop of oil on just
about everything that moves, powered it up very slowly with a variac. It
seems to work fine except the BFO seems weak. The RG gain has to be reduced
a lot and the AF gain has to be high to tune any SSB or CW with the INJ knob
on max. I swapped the tube and no differance. It doesn't seem right to me
but I just don't have enough experiance SSB/CW receivers to know. You can
get a good strong audio from a AM signal but the SSB/CW is wimpy. Is this
normal for this radio?
