Looking at your pictures I see why the volume control on my remote isn't working. Your set has that big stepper relay to control the volume and mine doesn't. This one was originally only meant to work with a one button remote. I have remote chassis 4H3, the two-button chassis is the 4G3, both schematics are in my sams folder. I've never seen the one-button Admiral remote, I wonder what it looks like?

I think the remotes that have "Sonar", rather than "Son-R", are newer.
I had both models about 50 years ago. IIRC, The single button remote was the same size, but the button was in the center.
They had the on-off function, incorporated with the channel selector. I disabled that, as I felt is was too hard on the set, shutting off at every complete rotation of the tuner.
I also added a UHF strip on mine.
I would calculate a capacitive reactance voltage drop for the heaters, instead of a dropping resistor.
