I found an old Channel Master transistor radio (from around 1960) and had it working. However, when I went to clean it (it was filthy), I pulled a wire loose from the circuit board. In the process of getting to the broken wire I pulled several more loose. I resoldered wires I was certain of, and have been holding the others loose because I couldn't quite remember where they went. I've been holding wires together to figure out what goes where, and I managed to get it working through both the speakers and the headphone jack. However, there is a problem: when I turn the volume all the way up, I can only get low volume in the speaker, and when I use the headphones, I can only get it up to a moderate volume. No where near where it was before. What would be the cause of this? Do I just need to solder the wires I've been holding together, or could it be bad soldering? Do I have a wire in the wrong place? Thanks in advance.
