                            I recently purchased a model 70, or what I thought was a 70. This is the earlier type with the dual volume control. What is different is that the tone switch is mounted on the back of the chassis and there is a two position band switch in the front. There are 10 wires on the switch and it is a two position. Is this a different model, or a modified model 70? The cabinet looks like a 70 model. I have restored several model 70 Philcos and I have never seen one like this.
