Re: Philips V7A tunes backwards
How confusing, is it supposed to do that or is it an error in the cording? It would drive me scatty.
Another Philips crazy cord drive idea? Last edited by Boater Sam; 14th Aug 2018 at 10:43 am. Reason: added |

Re: Philips V7A tunes backwards
Ken, I checked the pointer and knob coordination on my V7A. As you turn the knob clockwise, the pointer moves to the right, which is intuitively what feels right. However, this is in the opposite direction to yours, and of course mine tunes backwards, so I need to change it so that the pointer goes in the same sense as yours. Tony, you may well be right that the cord goes over the main drum in the wrong way, but I'm hoping that I may be able to solve the problem by removing the pointer from one of the two parallel cords and attaching it to the other one. This will certainly make it move in the correct sense, but I'm not sure whether this shift of the pointer will cause other problems, such as catching on the case or on the slider mechanism. Hope to get to it over the next week. I'm just plucking up courage, at this stage...
