I'm finding the initial schematic that Greg found http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...002053.pdf is the basic layout of this set. However what I thought was a tone control added appears to be a short wave band switch. There are several extra coils under the chassis that don't belong but look like they have been there for almost as long as the radio has been around. I'm torn between recapping / new resistors and trying it as is or trying to remove all of the short wave (or could be police band?) extras and wiring it per the sch linked to above.
