Best performing Philco Tombstone on SW
#1

Having had many 30s Philco Tombstones and cathedrals during the last 35 years I am Curious of others opinions. My best performing set all round was the 16 code 125/126. Would like to hear others opinions

Agree on the 16-125/126/127, which is the four band set with an RF amp as well as two stages of IF. I would rate the 116B (121) and 116X (122) up there with the four-band 16, as there are only minor differences between the two, chiefly the addition of long wave in the 116.

Sorry, the 116X is a console so it is outside the scope of this discussion. (I should pay closer attention before I type.) Icon_redface

The 116X uses 6A3 output tubes and a slightly different tone control circuit. The 116B uses two 42 output tubes, like the 16.
