The automatic tuning of my 37-116 didn't seem to work when I restored it. The problem was that there are two switches for it. The switch you see on the cabinet that turns it OFF. And...
There's a switch that part of the preset mechanism that turns it off, I believe, when you engage the arm that's used to tune to a preset station. Somehow that was engaged until I exercised the preset tuning. I keep telling myself I'll go back and figure exactly how it works mechanically. Haven't gotten there yet.
I think it needs to be off when tuning since it appears that it can drag a station pretty far before "letting go".
Can't think of anything witty.

The cutout is for the speaker. Here's a photo from a different set.
