Philco 116X tone control (Solved!)
#5

That's what I want to check out. I've tried the short antenna, but no luck. I do notice on all my radios there is a lot of noise at the upper end of the dial in the house. It seems like radios with internal antennas can cut through it easier, but it is still there. Actually, the background noise at the upper end of the dial on all my radios actually 'sounds' the same as the distortion. I swear, each time we have had to add a new appliance to the house things have only gotten worse. Worst case, I'll pull the guts and take them up to my buddy's shop for a check-up. My late friend did all the work on this radio already, but there is a chance something got out of alignment as it didn't get to use it much until now.

No matter where you go, there you are.
