model 15
#23

Here's a question for anyone who has or had a model 15.  Does the tone control do much when switched in?  My 15 is a little unique, maybe.  As far as I can make out the tone control and the tone control circuit on this radio is from a model 19 code 128.  It has an extra bakelite block with the caps for bass that go to the 2nd audio tube 37 and the input trans.
Part11-Philco Wiring Diagrams Vol. 1.pdf (philcoradio.com)
It works but very slightly changes the tone.  I clipped in some more capacitance on the caps inside the tone control and got hardly any change in tone.  I'm just wondering if the original tone control and circuit made a bigger difference in tone.
Thanks for any input.
