Update ---

1. I had an "aha" moment and realised that the on/off switch is attached to the tone control, not the volume. LOL - a Philco quirk?
2. I cleaned the volume and tone pots with QD4 (I can't find DeoxIT)
3. I noticed that the rubber coating was flaking off the wire to the volume control that passed thru the chasis -- and the bare wire was touching the chasis. I temporarily covered the wire with electrical tape (will replace soon).

And -- voila -- sound/volume control/tone control -- all work. It sounds wonderful!!!!
AM works -- I didn't get anything but hum on shortwave -- I think I need to spray that selector switch!

The sound is so full and rich -- it's unbelievable how good these old boxes sound!!!!
