Makes sense as I just looked for the 4th terminal on the tone control. It isn't there as you stated. Your response eased my concern thinking the tone pot was defective with the break in the middle. It certainly tracked strangely when I did check it with my VTVM. I need to ring out the volume control again to see how the 2 meg follows as that has a 400k tap on the side. Hopefully all is well with it so I can move on to other challenges with this unit. Thankfully the 8 pushbutton switches are all good now and the 7 adjustable coils are also good. Bandswitch functions well. Power xfmr ohms out good. As far as I can tell the IF's and oscillator coils are good. Now the grunt work begins with wire changeouts today.

Thanks again for all your feedback and assistance. I am sure learning from you guys!
