Philco 17 tone control
#1

I picked up a model 17 last weekend and have been working on it off and on since then. It's the one that has the chairside radio and a separate speaker connected with a cable. It's going to be a great radio. Very powerful audio. I rebuilt the tone control yesterday and despite trying two combinations of components (one per the schematic, and one according to the changes) I can not get much variation in tone from the different positions. Only the final position of the control makes much difference. This radio has been worked on a lot and I really couldn't tell what was supposed to be there originally. Any ideas?

thanks,
Steve Chambers
