116x Restoration
#14

When you get it playing properly I'm curious how well it works?? I just picked up one and a half 116X myself. Haven't had a chance to go though it but it looks to be a really outstanding set be looking at the diagram. It one has been serviced but I'm not sure if it is going to need some more going over. So now I have 116X, 37-116X code 121 and a 37-116X code 122. Think I'm going to have to sell some sets as I'm running out of room. It's great fun!!!! I think I hear that the 37-116 is a better sounding set than the 38-116. I think I'll stop with these three although I would like to get a 680.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
