The other volume knob is the main output volume and we redesigned the “selecTone” circuit for a little more clarity.

JR0588 Stewart child’s phonograph
The Stewart Phonograph (1916) In 1893, John K. Stewart and Thomas Clark started manufacturing drive-shafts, sheep shears, horse clippers, and bicycle handle-bars in Chicago. Then they expanded to speedometers for Model T Fords. They bought the Warner company in 1912, and by 1916 Stewart, who loved music, had established a phonograph factory in Chicago. A trademark was filed for the Stewart Phonograph Corp at 2827 N. Lincoln St., Chicago, Il., November, 1916 (R. J. Wakeman). The Stewart Phonograph, with its distinctive round metal case, caused a brief flurry in the market when it was introduced in 1916. It was manufactured by the Stewart Phonograph Company of Chicago, an offshoot of the Stewart-Warner Corporation, and was headed by industrialist J. K. Stewart.There are scratches were the case hold down bracket holds the phonograph.
