Allow me to jump back in for a quick note....
I found the original finish (Van Dyke brown) under the escutcheon; clearly the finish on my 16B had degraded very seriously. In a few minutes the toner lacquer will be ordered.
The 16B has been heat-running fine for 36 hours with the large cap can intact. It's original tin-nickel plating is in excellent shape and I won't be doing anything to it.
This is a NICE sounding radio!! Very sensitive on the SW bands. There's always lots of electrical interference in my area on the BC band below 900KC but the two IF stages seem to block most of that noise.
Thanks all for tips and advice.
