Well, Terry guessed it right! I finally got my 37-116X Deluxe apart today and sure enough, they replaced the single hum control with two single pot controls. Did a nice job too, would look factory if I didn't know any different. Also got the speaker out safely, but it has a couple cracks at the edge just like my 38-116XX did, so that will have to be addressed. Actually, my 38-116 formed a couple more on the bench test, hope this one doesn't and it's only two goes with the speaker dope.

No matter where you go, there you are.

If this helps you sort it out just remember 10,000 mmfd or pf = .01 mfd. So 5,000mmfd = .005 mfd.Radioroslyn — 04:23 PM
