[Hallicrafters] SX-117 Audio has too many lows

[Carl]

I dont remember the earlier thread but after looking at the schematic I'd 
suggest a little experimenting.

Lift one end of the following and see what happens.

C-93, the reactance is very high at audio but these micas can be leaky

C-99, 100, 101. Should make any difference but.....

C-97, its to prevent HV spikes but see what it does with a relatively low 
audio level

And C-98, reduce to between 4.7 and 10uF, that will filter some of the lows.

C-94 and 95 are already very low values which reduces the lows, see what 
happens when you go to half that.

You cant do anything about the IF bandwidth but you can possibly tilt the 
audio bandpass a little in your favor.
