Hi all,

I'm restoring a Philco 48-1263 radio/phono. I had no tone variance coming from the on-off/tone potentiometer and on closer looking found one end of the pot dead ended on a terminal strip. It seems a cap and resistor were flat out missing. I replaced the cap from the pot wire at the terminal strip to the #2 pin, the plate, on the 7C6 AF Amp tube. Now I have bass, but only crammed into a very short end of the tone range. 90% of the tone range is full treble, no variance.

Did I maybe wire this wrong? I have the schematic, but I'm not terribly proficient reading them.

Thanks,
Alan

I tried accessing the site through our library and got the same response. It's reported to our tech gurus. GaryGarySP — 11:50 AM

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
