Let's not get hung on the 'going to 12' thang. It could be 3, or 4, or 8 or 30. Like was mentioned before, the pot has a predetermined turning range, no matter the number put on the chassis or faceplate. But none of this addresses the issues of the amp circuit itself and what Leo was likely thinking when history suggests that he was constantly looking to 'clean up his act.'

Yeah, there has to be a starting point, be he grew up working on radio's and then TV's. This wasn't just an arbitrary 'first' design.

I can't be convinced that he was shooting blind, and then just tweaking his aim until he hit his target. He was smarter and better than that--so the question remains...ponder some more...pensively.
