How my 116B looked when I bought it:

And how it looked after a cleanup and application of new Extra Dark Walnut toner:

I must be getting old...I had forgotten the procedure I used to take care of mine. I first scraped off the remaining original toner while leaving the front panel alone. I then sealed the cabinet with shellac in case there were any impurities in the wood. This was followed by Behlens Extra Dark Walnut toner, with the front panel covered with newspaper and masking tape. Then the tape and paper were removed, and the entire cabinet received a few coats of clear Deft.
More details here in this thread from 2008:

BTW, it's been more than two years and I still haven't touched the chassis yet.
