Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#27

Terry,

Thanks for the note!  I assumed this was an “after market” add.  As I do the rewire, I plan to remove this and  take it back to how it would have been originally.  With that being said, do you happen to know where the volume control connects to chassis ground?  Currently, the shield of the wire from the toggle switch is being used to connect the control to ground (see attached pictures); however, when I remove this wire, will need to connect to ground somewhere.  I assume there would have been a jumper wire from the volume control pin to one of the chassis ground terminals, just not sure which route this originally followed.  Not a big deal if no one knows, I’ll find a connection point that’s close...just was going to go back to original connection point if I can.  Thanks in advance...you all are great!
