Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: what Mikey said,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Looking at the crossover, it looks like the pot is being used as a rheostat, not an 'L' pad. It adjusts the tweeter level by inserting more and more resistance in series with the tweeter, and of course, that also shifts the 'crossover' frequency a lot, as well. With that in mind, I don't think adding a small bypass cap will need any value compensation (the original cap is probably at least 10% tolerance, anyway).
