I restored a Philco 620 many years ago and played fine. Now recently developed a symptom like yours where the volume would drop significantly. If I wiggle the band selector up and down the volume returns to normal. Apparently a touchy or dirty contact on the band selector switch which I haven’t got around to looking at yet. This set worked great for years ! Sometimes it’s the easily overlooked things.
