Not sure if anyone else ran into this, but I ordered new buttons from Renovated Radios, as mine were pretty much wrecked like every other Philco I've seen. And 2 or 3 of the 8 were nice tight fits on the shafts. But the others are a much looser fit. So when I change to a new preset, if it's a loose one, the previously selected button juts out past all the others. Any tricks to tightening up the fit of the buttons, or am I stuck with that behavior? Yeah, I know. Of all the problems I could have with this set, this is my complaint. But I'm kind of OCD that way. I want my buttons all nice and orderly. Icon_smile

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
