>There is also that volume control that is almost always something one has to look in service bulletins to figure out.
This one follows the early schematic it doesn't have the updated tone control circuit. The updated one incorporates a different switch so their not completely compatible. I thought about putting the circuit for the 116X (I have a spare) but it makes my head spin when I try to figure it out. If I don't like how it sounds I just adjust some of the values to get it to my liking.
Working on this set makes me really like the 116B and 116X. The 16 is a bit of a job to get at the bank of bypass caps (in the big metal can) and the filter caps. Lot of wires and parts in the way to get to them. Have to take copious notes to get it all back together. It's no Predicta but...
Waiting parts, cloth covered wired, and such before I can continue.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
