Wade, I've seen old filters have 2 S-Units insertion loss.
Replace it with another "identical" filter and it was 2 S-Units louder.
Old filters are a bit of a risk.

*             Thanks to Ebay, those Filters that you valued at $50.00 each,
can't be found for less than about $75.00 each..... Just so you will know.*
