model 91 volume control issues
#1

Boys and girls,

After a recap, a few resistors replaced, and a few tubes, the radio is working.

yet a problem remains.

I can't seem to turn the volume down. Now, it does work, but fully counterclockwise, there's plenty of volume. And at that level, the control acts like a tone control, lowering the pitch of the audio.

Tone control works fine

I can't do much more for another week on this as while I was working on the radio, the 80 rectifier tube decided to call it quits. Got another one on order, expensive little buggers...

Anyone have a clue about the odd volume control?

I'm Mike, WB8VGE
