Thank you, Nathan, for adding the thread. I would have tried doing so, if I knew how. The changes and bulletins from Nostalgia Air are very helpful. I don't know how I missed it, as I thought I had found everything from that site regarding the 16 and 16B.
I went thru the volume control circuit, last night, and while all the components were there, the way they were wired didn't make any sense! What a mess! After a little experimentation I got it wired correctly. The tone control circuit is still another matter. While I believe I have it wired correctly, it still has very little, if any, effect. I still need to spend a little time on that area, but haven't gotten thru the complete recap and the OT resistor replacement yet. Maybe that will help.
One thing I have noticed is that the old resistors, with the metal caps on the ends, are almost always still within spec, while the dog bones are not. So I am keeping many of those in the circuit. Am I likely to have problems with these in the future?
Thanks for all the help!
Stall, good luck with your project.
