Went thru that myself about six months ago. It was quite noticeable with
the 250 Hz filter.
Your guess is exactly what I guessed and sort of strongly implied by TT docs
maybe markings on the case, etc. HOWEVER, TT says that the C is used to set
the frequency at the 12 o'clock position i.e. don't touch the R.
I am glad I set mine because I discovered that that C was a bit flakey and a
quick spray of DeOxit cleared it up.
Within 4 months or so, the frequency drifted again so that it is again
noticeable with 250 Hz filter.
