Just picked up a 1936 Philco 116B Tombstone Radio Today and need some info on it
#9

OK so here's a picture of the underside of the radio showing the power switch/volume control, as you can see, it does have its original power switch/volume control assembly installed and in circuit.

Also an interesting feature is that this radio seems to have a headphone jack on the back of the radio for personal listening purposes.

another thing is that this 116B also seems to have the 2 capacitors going from the bottom two speaker plug terminals and connecting to the closest terminal to the speaker jack on the giant wirewound resistor on the side of the radio, and one of those capacitors vented but I have no idea what value those capacitors are as they aren't marked on the capacitors themselves what their value is, and they're not on the schematic in the Rider's manual for this radio.
