Philco model #20
#34

AHH HA , I got it and can’t thank you fellows enough , when I changed the capacitors I took the advice and did not unsolder the wires, I heated the Bakelite container and pushed out the tar and condenser with a small allan wrench ,unbolted it from the chassis cleaned it out and put in the new condenser then bolted it back to the chassis , what I found well checking the volume control with my ohm meter was the centre wire on the back part of the volume control had come off , I guess from bending the #5 Bakelite box where the wire is attached so I could clean it out and put in the new condenser, the broken wire was hidden underneath the volume control out of sight , had I not been checking around the volume control with my ohm meter I would never had seen it , you know I had drawn a diagram of each cap block I changed and still missed it , oh well it works just fine now , thanks again for all the help , and looking back at this job it’s far easier not to unsolder the wires from the Bakelite condenser block , but making a drawing is so helpful when some thing like this happens , all the very best have a great weekend Rick
PS= As soon as I have photos of the radio I will post them
