The original volume control (1M) was faulty. The only one I had with a switch was 500K. After I got the set working, I took the 500K out and replaced iot with a 1M (Without switch) just to see if it made any difference. It didn't, so I put the 500K back.
The ECH35 may well be low on emmission, but I have tried several (all used) but with no change. As I said before, whatever I build always has distortion on the local station that is only about 5 miles away at the most. I have come to the conclusion that it is just overloading it.
It really is a very powerful set, although I would not have thought it with only three valves.
I have only tried two output valves (6V6) with no change, but have just found a new-looking one that I will try.
