Philco Model 16 Tone Control
#1

Well, the 16 is humming along rather nicely. Sound is sometimes a little mushy, like just a bit of sandpaper on the edges of words. Minimized with careful tuning. I've tried substituting a new speaker and that helps somewhat, don't know if the old one should be re-coned. Or is this just normal? It's not terrible, but we're so accustomed to digital sound -- hmm.

Question is: when I switch the tone control clockwise toward more bass there is a strong click at each position. Something wrong? Can this be eliminated?

Thanks!!

David Sligar
