Philco 41-616 Mystery Control
#4

I have recently spent a lot of time cleaning up, rewiring and troubleshooting a 41-616, and now have the mystery control trying to work. One simple question for anyone who has used this model - the band selector has five active switch positions, all very complicated. Four of the positions are tagged with pilot lamps showing the selection of BC, Police, SW1 and SW2. The position at the bottom of the rotation is wired and obviously active, but not labeled. Can anyone here identify that position? I would have guessed the to be selection of mystery control, but that function seems to be controlled by the left pushbutton, and the phono mode is controlled by the right button, I think.
