Looking over a 37-61.
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...013208.pdf
It originally had one of those volume controls with the long shaft and the control itself over on the back side of the chassis.
This one has been replaced with a "regular" VC mounted to the front side of the chassis with the other controls. The original assembly is gone.
Two questions:
Why did Philco use this strange long shaft VC in the first place?
Should I expect issues from a VC mounted to the front on the chassis?
Thanks
Bill
