I moved this thread to Philco Home Radios since it isn't specifically about a cabinet.

The four positions of the off-on-tone control are for four different levels of tone; the tone is supposed to get deeper as the control is switched clockwise.

As for no reception, two questions:

1. Have all paper and electrolytic capacitors been replaced?
2. Do you have a longwire antenna connected (to the far left of the four screws in back)? This can only be five feet or so for testing purposes, but should be much longer for normal use.
