Mike I don’t remember where exactly the 2 Meg connects to. Possibly C104 and C105 on the 3 position tone switch takes in some DC voltage and when switching, the wiper grounds out one or the other cap. The 2 meg resistor could soften the discharge. A discharge going into the volume control probably makes the pop noise. I don’t have the full schematic handy to see if there’s any path for a DC voltage buildup. Anyway, it’s been years since I saw that change and just remember it had something to do with that popping noise. Not sure now where I even saw it!
