I have a Silvertone, Model 1591, catalog number 100-353 (Stewart-Warner?).
A cousin gave it to me at a family reunion this summer and asked if I could
get it to work. At this point in the job, the volumn control seems to be
shot; a victim of an overdose of mouse urine. Before I try to take it apart
and clean it would anyone have a working one of these in a junker?
If I can't make this one work and have to replace it with a stock control
would anyone know where the tap is set? Playthings of Past has some 1M
controls tapped at various points such as 250K and 500K. Since the tap goes
to ground through a capacitor, I suspect it may be a form of tone control.
If so, how critical would the tap be?
