Philco 116X tone control (Solved!)
#3

The distortion seems to be something in the house and my postwar radios aren't having issues like my mid 30's radios are. I took my 1936 Atwater Kent tombstone out to the building and it sounds great out there with no issue, just like the 116X did before bringing it into the house. I would say that external antenna radios are effected worse, but my 1938 GE FE-112 doesn't seem to be having much issue either though you can sometimes hear a touch of the issue with it.
Right now I have to pull the chassis on the 116X again as I noticed the dial lamp was flickering and was just loose, but I caught one of the wires with my hand and now need to resolder it again! Might as well clean that hum control while I am at it.

No matter where you go, there you are.
