Been working on this 116 for a while now and have a dumb question.
Re-capped and replaced a bunch of resistors and a few tubes.
It might just be me,but I think that it could do better as far as volume goes.
Everything works fine and it sound good,but I can turn the volume all the way up,without it becoming annoyingly loud and distorted.
My other consoles will get louder than this one.
Have 100 ft single wire antenna on it.This antenna works for the others,so I am thinking it may be something else.
Any clues?
