this may be off topic,but i remember when my parents bought a d-16 sylvania with slide controls.my dad used the factory presets.very little color and the fleshtones were a little green for me."keep the button pushed in" he said.finally we figured out that in the back where the controls just for preset.with the help of a dot bar borrowed from mr dixon,it was soon rectified.dad never knew about it,we think.occasionally,we would readjust them and he would comment that "something isnt right".joke on dad.not quite.my dad was a tinkerer and fixer.no education at all,(3rd grade),but my dad was a born engineer and scientist.dad had long known of those controls and had been manipulating them himself to irritate us!this went on for a couple of years.finally the gig was up and my dad set them with a dot bar.he marked the controls and the issue was settled.always some little game going on and he kept you sharp.we had alot of fun until he passed when i was 17.this man nevere called anyone out for repair.he would simply reverse engineer an object to see how it worked.i learned so much.i learned to learn.sorry off topic but a fun story.
