Just picked up a 1936 Philco 645 in almost original condition. Two of the large caps on top of the chassis were replaced a long time ago. It has a gigantic transformer on the chassis and seven tubes. After replacing some suspect capacitors I fired it up and it worked pretty good except the volume control will not turn down all the way and won't get very loud. Anyone have any ideas about this condition. Any help would be appreciated.
