[GreenKeys] CV-116

[Duncan M. Brown]

If the mechanical AFC reaches the end of its correction range, there is
what sounds like a mechanical door bell that rings to wake up the
operator!!  (If you are just tuning around, you have to make sure the AFC
is off, or it will go hunting, and not finding anything, ring the doorbell!)
