As far as an "input switch" goes I am not aware of the set having one. I did the recap and resistor job myself, along with replacing the power transformer. I probably missed a resistor somewhere that has drifted, or maybe one of the micamold caps that I think we all tend to overlook may be at fault as far as the sound problem goes. The sound is clear and increases somewhat after 15 or 20 minutes of use. Just low volume....

As far as Mica Caps are concerned, I'm going to replace ALL of them in my current projects, and all my future ones. I'm going thru the 630TS right now. Just did all the 270 pF/1000 volt ones. New ones are Epoxy dipped silver micas. Old ones tested quite good, BTW, except one. But, when they heat up, who knows?
Why not? There's usually only a dozen or so, frequently less that that. I have a whole pile coming in from two vendors as we speak. I mean, those sync, sweep, and amp circuits can mean the difference between a fidgity TV and a solid performer.
Again, Nice RCA Victor you have there. Have fun with it.
