Just update, re capped and installed a plain old generic 1 meg audio pot and she works great. 2 out of the 3 tone control positions work. The only one that does not is obviously loudness tap off the volume control. So if anyone is in a bind this would work.

I am going to install a correct pot down the road but just an FYI the radio works great with a generic sub.

At this point, there is no input, just internal voltages Which are incorrect and not sure what they should be.daveone23 — 09:15 AM
