Volume issues model 90
#1

Great to be back working on my Model 90. After doing a complete recap on my radio as well as replacing some missing pieces I have a radio that has great reception but no volume control. By this I mean the volume is constant at a moderatly low level no matter which way the volume control is turned. The only thing that changes Is the tone of the radio from a full sound to a rather tinny one. My first guess would be a dirty or worn out volume control but I don't see how to get inside it. Any suggestions ? By the way thanks again to Ron for the great under chassis view of his model 90.. This radio had been used for parts with many wires missing. Without the photo things would have been much tougher. Thanks again, Gary
