Crosley 716
#9

I'd been thinking about the replacement pot I used, which is audio taper. I wondered if I changed the wire going to P2 of the 6N6 and the speaker transformer from one end of the pot to the other would improve the control, since it would shift the control to the more gradually increasing end of the pot. I tried this today, and the pot works a treat now, so I cut the shaft to length and that concludes the work on the chassis. It has been raining here off and on for the past few days, so my cabinet work is on hold. It poured last night and this morning here. With all the rain we have had the past few days my grass has grown a LOT, and I really should get out and mow the next good day, before I think about building radio cabinets. Always something to do when you have a little farm.
