I had been boggle minded about that switch for days now, but after reading what you just posted got me thinking, so I investigated what you said a bit with a meter, and by golly you are indeed right, by switching the switch 2 times, it shorts the .03 to ground, by switching once it turns on the radio and uses the .03 cap filter for bass. Its been years back to my day of wiring complex switches. Reminds me of the 3 way light switch, if you don't know how it seems impossible but once you know how, its actually very simple.
Thanks again man, I just don't want to get it working, I want to understand whats going on as I have another Philco to do after this one (a battery set).
Much appreciated
Chip

The process of learning is to fix something that is not broke.
