Yes the cap from the 50L6 plate (pin 3) to gnd will change the tone. The larger the cap the less highs you will have. You may be able to repair the switch or just replace the switch. If you end up replacing the whole control you can use one with short shaft. Just use a small piece of 1/4 rubber hose to couple a 1/4 rod to the shaft. Check your gnd connection at the volume control if it is open that can cause the volume to increase rapidly.
