No, more like it went to quarter volume and I can't turn the volume down or up anymore because the volume control just acts like a tone control again like it did before when that detector coupling cap was out of the circuit and the tone control pushbuttons aren't functioning anymore excecpt the one marked "normal" (which I'm assuming the "normal" button bypasses the tone control circuit all together).
And like I said it was working fine for about 15 minutes then it suddently quit working again.
I don't know if this is a clue or not as to what may have happened but when I first turned on the radio (after I installed the .01 MFD cap into that spot that was missing the cap for the volume control) there was a smell of melting solder like maybe something might of gotten hot enough to melt some solder, but I'm wondering if something in that detector to volume control coupling circtui got hot enough to melt the solder on that coupling cap I installed and made that capacitor come loose?
If so what would of gotten that hot in that circuit to melt the solder on that capacitor and cause it to come loose?
