Arrran Wrote:I don't know why Philco insisted on using switches for their tone controls

Marketing, I think. When Philco introduced their (four position) tone control in the 1930 models (June 1930), they made a big deal in their advertising of their "four point tone control...Brilliant...Bright...Mellow...Deep."

Quote:The switch gives you three ranges bass, medium and treble, and the pot allows you to adjust it anywhere in between. Did I mention that this was also a five tube console, shame on you Philco!
