HI
Boy howdy, did I make a mistake Icon_mad

, my control has a .09 and .003 (78) in the little box and two .025 in the bakelite block (80) Icon_confused

. I was sorta sleepy when I wrote that comment, but this is correct Icon_smile

. It just don't make much diff on the first three steps (clicks) the fourth cuts the highs pretty good, I guess the vol control could have a bad tap. It looks to me like the first and second "clicks" are for bass boost.. For the .09 I used a .082. I cannot find what code mine is (121 ETC.) My 16 was changing in frequency until I changed out the .0007 and 00125 (17) mica cap (28) it is o k now.
Thanks for answering
Hope you are feeling o k
Joe
