I've seen worse cabinets restored, unfortunately I lack the woodworking skills and tools to pull off something like that. Still, I wouldn't condemn it just yet.

Nothing wrong with it at all! You will have a swell time with your 116X regardless of which direction your resto goes. Totally agree about the 6A3s, they definitely make for a superior sound. I would add the 6B4G to this very short list of superior output systems.
A recent eBbay auction had a Silvertone 1831 console radio. (below link) This set had
Six 45 tubesfor the output circuit. I betcha this was some kind of good sounding set.

Really makes me want to get cracking on my 116X (and 37-116X). After a couple three years outside the hobby. You guys are causing me to dust off the tubes, polish the cabinet, dig out the tools..............................................

Thanks Ron. Hope things are well with you. Trying to get back in the grove and send some needed attention to my beloved Philco's

Work hours are longer now so more of my time is taken up. I see a good group of new collectors hanging around the Phorum
