I need to replace the volume control/on/off switch on this one. Left turn on phono/ right turn on radio.
Is there a volume control/switch available ? If not what value control do I need ? Is it the same for left and right control ?

Check with Mark Oppat. He fixed me up with a new one for a 1201 I was working on.

If the volume part is good and the switch clcks, try to open it. Sometimes it's just cleaning.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The volume control is a bit odd it's 1megohm total with a tap @ 500k + a switch.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

What's wrong with the control?
