Hi Fella's,
Just about done re-capping this 116 and I noticed that while playing it seems like the volume may drift up and down slightly while playing.
The tone seems to change slightly when it does this,kind of like it does when you have to do a fine adjustment on the tuning to get best signal.
Maybe antenna?
I have about a 100 ft wire strung up in my basement that I use for an antenna right now.It also seems to work better with a ground wire attached.
Is this model kind of sensitive to what type of antenna to use?
Or should I be looking at something else?
Thanks guy's
