Hello, Lyle: well, yes, I am trying to bring an early model Philco 90 back to life but unfortunately at some point in time someone had worked on it and bungled it up! Additionally, I just have discovered that half of the two-ganged volume pot is bad, as it measures 25000 ohms and is supposed to be 250 ohms. I have re-stuffed all of the bakelite, metal, and mershon caps and replaced some WAY out of tolerance resistors. Also think it is wired properly now. BUT must search for a volume control.
