42-345, question for an owner
#1

Hello,

     I am working on a Philco 42-345.  It appears that there have been many hands inside this radio before me.  The tone control had been replaced at some time in the past, and I think it is wired incorrectly.  When the tone control is turned clockwise the bass increases.  This seems backwards from other radios I have had.  If the new tone pot was not wired correctly this would be the result.  The tone control is electrically wired correctly but depending on which end of the pot was used, the control function could be backwards.  I have not found a diagram or picture showing the mechanical connection to the tone pot.  If anyone on here has a functioning 42-345, could you check to see how your tone control works?  Does a clockwise turn of the control increase or decrease the bass?

Thank you for your time,

Noel.
