Well folks, I couldn't wait till the weekend. I took my chassis out and sure enough, the stop pin was on the wrong side of the bracket. See my picture. I made the correction, and now the pin is on the correct side and I get the correct range of motion. A quick re-peaking of the IF and adjustment to balance the bandwidth was all I needed. Now I hear that famous audio quality  everyone was talking about. The audio is truly amazing.

Thanks to Rich for letting me work on his 37-116! I would have never found it otherwise.

Thanks to RFEENSTRA for the pictures too!

No I truly am a happy 38-690 owner!
