Philco attached a piece of stiff wire to the tone control, which was left hanging below the radio. Not the best way to adjust tone, as the owner had to get up from their easy chair, then get down on their knees beside the radio, reach up for the wire and push or pull to change the tone.

Philco's 14LZX, 91RX, 19LZ and LZX, and the RX/TX models that followed were much better, with all of the controls easily accessible by the owner.
