I've been following this post because of the Philco 90 I'm almost done with. My volume control has stamped right on the back "DO NOT OPEN". Of course they were possibly being cautious but I don't even see a way to get it open unless by prying around the edges. Mine will be ready for power today or tomorrow so I don't even know if I have a volume control problem. But what is Philco trying to warn me about with the words "DO NOT OPEN"?
