Thanks for the suggestion. This could be a solution. I have not recapped the radio yet but I will be ordering the parts soon. I got the radio from my BIL just to get it out of his garage. It does play on AM but FM needs work. I have the switch bypassed at the present time and just plug it in when I need to power up. The controls are all smooth with no static . I just did not know if it would make a big difference for a Bass control if it is linear or audio taper. I could also use a schematic for the AMP132aa if anyone would help out. I was looking around and was able to find a schematic for a AMP132 but not an AMP132aa. I really don't have a clue what the difference would be. Thanks for the reply.
