My late father in laws Zenith with a tap on the volume control that had been replaced in the past. After a recap and a few resistors replaced the radio played fine. The repair shop placed10 turns of wire from what would be the the tap feed around the in coming signal to the control. The repair was made in the time frame of 1968-1975.
