Very good. If you have copper water pipes to use as a ground I would pick that over the outlet ground. I know nowdays there's a lot of plastic pipe which is non conductive. Either way the outllet or pipe is better than nothing. Your ant is really short to get away from any noises that are in your home. If you can you could try unplugging things like chargers, cable converter boxes, computers, and any made after 1990 or so and listen to hear if it makes a difference.
All of the 16 and 116 sets are excellent players. On the consoles the 1939 not so much as Philco traded the hifi for the mystery tuning. By 1940 the 16/116 line was dropped. I have three of the 5 band sets aka code 121 sets. Two are up working one needs the cabinet finished. The third one I got in May and it's the '33 model (1st yr for the 16 cathedral) the others are peaked top sets.
Enjoy your 16 it's a fine set!!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
