Hello Mike, What a beautiful radio you have! The volume control unit of the 834A is in fact the wire wound unit R1,R15,R18 in the service documentation: http://www.radiotechniek.nl/login/index.php?a=download&s=1&merk=Philips&typen=836A.pdf and if you connect the wiring in the right way the volume should increase if you turn the volumeknob clockwise. If not you have a different volume unit or a wrong wiring diagram.
About the scratches in the bakelite FRONT of your 834A; they can easily be polished or grinded and shined like every bakelite cabinet: waterproof sanding paper 800 and a coarse automotive polish Commandant 4. Finish the job with smooth car polish or furniture wax and your 834A front will shine as it never did before. The SIDE walls of the 834A are made of a very delicate material called Arbolite. You can clean it whith a damp cloth of a smooth car turtle wax but don't tread it with abrasive sanding paper. Good luck with your 834A wireless set, regards, Hans![]()
