philco 116x-122 band selector cord routing and set up
#27

Really starting to sound good now. Noticed that when the volume is turned up from low it gets louder, then tapers back down softer a bit then starts to get louder as Im turning the volume knob. New volume control in order I guess.
Speaker issues: The center spider cone with 3 spider fingers isnt level. the spider fingers dip in twards the field coil a bit like 1/8 inch. Ideas are: shim out the spider(mark oppat). Assist the spider with something, Reverse the voice coil leads to the output transformer. Yes, I noticed that when I removed the cone to patch suround, I saw that the the voice coil wires cross each other after the suspension wire holder spring. I would think they wouldnt cross and go straight to their perspective output transformer terminals. Looking for pictures of 116x speakers.

I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
