Hi All,
I've almost completed restoring my 37-660. It's playing great and probably the most selective and powerful radio I have. But the tone control is a bit touchy. It is the on-off switch plus 3 tone positions. The shaft is very loose fitting and wobbly, therefore it stutters when changing positions. So I was looking at the part no. which is 42-1184. I checked in the Philco Library and under tone control there is no listing. But under switches that no. came up as a switch with 4 positions. Just wondering how a radio and schematic from 1937 can have a switch from 1942?
I going to have another beer and think about it some more. Anyway I still got to tear that control apart and see if I can tighten it up. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dick
