Gloritone 27 Radio
#12

It sure looks to me like someone was working off two schematics. I have been checking every part and wire with both schematics. Since the volume control is not original to the radio, a Philco 33-5040 part, I'm not sure which way to wire the radio. The Philco pot is a 2K pot that does not match either value of the schematics. So if I wire the late version do I need to have a wire wound pot? If I wire the early version do I need an 8K pot?

I did find a You Tube video by buzz1151 on the same radio. His wiring is much neater than mine. I believe his radio is the late version. His pot and power switch looks exactly like the one in my Philco 91.

Thank you MrFix55 for the details on how the volume control works.
