yes all the cap's were replaced and the speaker was reconed i sent the radio to someone that has been doing it for years i asked him about the sound but he did not think there was anything wrong with it.but i know for sure it is not right. i have a g e model E-81 that i restored myself i did send the speaker off but i recaped it and replaced bad wiring and it sounds great. sorry about the mess up on the reply i did not know how to correct it.

I cant seem to find a drawing for your set, what tubes are in it?

Hey Greg,

I believe the schematic for the 5G chassis is on this site in resources under Grunow 580.

I was just wondering if it used either a 24a or a 27 detector tube as they tend to sound distorted as compared to a diode detector.

David, The 75 tube is your detector/first audio tube and it is a diode detector, should be nice clean clear audio. Has to be something wrong in what they did in the chassis restoration. That tube line up will give you very good performance and audio output.

::::::david ok i will do a little more checking based on your info. to me and see if i can find the problem.
thanks

Check the capacitor on the plate of the audio output tube. The repairer may have put too high of a value in. Lift one end of it and see what it sounds like. Also check the values of the tone control caps. Try eliminating it from the circuit.
