Back in the day (40s and early 50s) here in Canada the really big
jukebox distributors would assemble the machines locally to get around
import tariffs. The other big name was Siegel (sp?) Distributing in
Toronto and Montreal.

Same sort of idea as Volvo did with their assembly plant in New Brunswick.

And I guess IKEA does with their 'furniture'.

It would appear then that the Loudness was handled differently between
the US and Canadian versions. I don't think I have the Canadian
schematic, but the two taps are for loudness components (as is the
second stack pot) and should be consistent with later volume controls.

Not a lot of help I'm afraid, you need to look at other audio schematics
to find (if missing) what the parts should be. Usually a resistor and
cap in parallel or series as I recall.
