Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#45

Thanks Ron and Terry for the kind words. I know the chassis does not look like "new" but let's face it the old girl shows a little age. I have not seen the cabinet for it yet, it is in New Mexico. My friend after warming up in the Phoenix area for the winter will cruise by and pick it up. He will do an excellent job on the cabinet. Can't wait till they get married together and some pictures. Also can't wait to get the chassis and speaker out of my shop! If I have figured this whole thing out on the mag tuner, it is really only necessary to tune on when using the speed dial to get to a station via pushing in and locking onto a particular button that has been set to "close" to the proper station. As I see it, it will never be dead on, or likely to be dead on as each selection can only be adjusted slightly for the station via the screws. It would also be less likely to be on station depending on which direction you turn to it. The radio doesn't drift as far as I can see. A neat feature if you mess up manually as it will if slightly off station bring it in. It appears to me to be a crutch for the imprecise speed tuning set up. Been wrong often.
