Now the volume pot is problematic. While end to end resistance is correct, there is a dead zone. I cleaned and lubed it but I will be looking for a new one.
The switch is also problematic though after some exercise it makes and with some current it will self clean but it is one of those covered with a riveted plate so no cleaning possible.

This Philco has the tuhular caps with the rolled up ends, so just pulling the guts out is not possible, so I cut tbe rolled edges off.  Never saw those before.

Mike;
  The way you get those caps with a rolled over end apart is to heat the body of the cap, then put one end down over a small diameter mechanic's socket, then push down and the guts of the cap should pot out of the top. This was the style that RCA used to use, except with those you usually don't have to heat them the guts will just push or pull out by the leads. The same trick would with those axial lead electrolytics with the cardboard sleave over metal. Then after you restuff the cap you roll the open end over again.

Arran
