Philco Model 20 volume control operation
#1

I cant seem to get an answer on this on another forum. Thought i would ask the Philco experts.

I just finished a recap and resistor replacement. The radio plays well except that the volume is loud even on the low setting. It does get a bit louder as you change the knob setting clockwise as it should though.

I dont really want to use it since I can't adjust it down to a comfortable level. Is this normal for this set? (That is what I would really like to know.)

I do have a spare console chassis that I can scavenge and switch volume controls if needed, I just dont want to waste time if this normal. The one I have in there now looks original.

Did this set have a dial lamp? Mine doesn't, but my spare chassis does.
I thought of replacing it with that one.

Thanks for the advice.
