Randall RG50-HT low clean volume

[Prairie Dawg]

I've got a recently acquired Randall RH50T head that I got on the cheap about two hours ago. After lugging it home, testing the tubes, installing a repair wafer on one EL34 and setting the bias more or less according to the values on the schematic (I'm using the schematic from the RG50TC combo as I'm told it's more or less the same thing) the volume on the clean channel is considerably less robust than the gain channel. I can't turn the gain channel up more than about 1/8 and it's enough to drive me out of my chair.

On the clean channel, master volume all the way up, I can turn the clean channel up to about 1/2 and sit in front of it without discomfort, even with the boost selected.

Any thoughts as I go to work on something else? Similar occurrences?

Thanks.

It's an RH50T, sorry
