I just finished restoring Philco 89B and installing an FM module. After letting the radio play a few hours, the tone control stopped working, always "high". I'm pretty sure it is the switch. I'm thinking about replacing the tone switch with a potentiometer and capacitor. I'm not sure what values to use. Ron, maybe you can help, if I remember correctly, you used a tone pot in your "Super 71".
