Just a quick question and this may be a dumb one, but which direction does the tone control on the Philco 116X turn? I know what the settings are supposed to be, but this control seems backward to me like it goes in a counter-clockwise direction instead of the usual clockwise most controls go. I finally dug out my 116X to use regularly and just would like to know. Icon_redface  Also, I have noticed since their last transmitter repair that our local radio station sounds fuzzy on bass notes now on all my radios. Sigh...\

Edit: Found the manual in the Philco Library here! Forgot about looking there. Icon_redface  Anyways, it does work in the normal way it was just the dummy operator who had things backward. Icon_crazy
No matter where you go, there you are.
