Okay, I will say no more about the under-chassis drawings, or the lack thereof.
Anyway...
A couple more caps, a couple more resistors replaced:

I've pulled the volume control from the chassis front, in preparation to replace it with a control that has no switch as per original.

Here is the replacement, 2 meg. with tap, just like the original, with the shaft cut short for the coupling:

Notice something about this control?

Nothing like a Philco part in a Brand Z set.
Here it is, mounted in the chassis:

I've been studying the wiring of the volume control, and it is apparent that the control (with switch) was miswired. So I'll have to figure it all out before proceeding to hook up the replacement control, to make sure it is wired correctly.
