The tone portion is not working properly and the on/off metal piece is fatigued. After changing electrolytics, it still draws too much current.  It'll play fine at 110 volts.  House current is usually 123.  Any suggestions or should I install a limiting resistor? Thanks

Thank you.  Did try a new pot but it wasn't right. Reinstalled old one, crossing my fingers the metal catch for the off side of switch holds, while I locate one. I understand lixdeslia.

If the off/on switch is just stiff a little slug of Deoxit may be the fix for it. Just make sure that the Deoxit has dried completely. No fun having the switch go up in flames.

Your very welcome!

Now I think I've got!
