Investigation puzzle!!
#1

Hi All,
     I've almost completed restoring my 37-660.  It's playing great and probably the most selective and powerful radio I have.  But the tone control is a bit touchy.  It is the on-off switch plus 3 tone positions.  The shaft is very loose fitting and wobbly, therefore it stutters when changing positions.  So I was looking at the part no. which is 42-1184.  I checked in the Philco Library and under tone control there is no listing.  But under switches that no. came up as a switch with 4 positions.  Just wondering how a radio and schematic from 1937 can have a switch from 1942?  
     I going to have another beer and think about it some more.  Anyway I still got to tear that control apart and see if I can tighten it up.  Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

     Thanks

      Dick
