Ron, can you please identify this 116 chassis? - BrendaAnnD - 11-17-2015
I want to order the proper service literature for it..

Yes - as it has a short power transformer and 6-pin sockets on the left for type 42 tubes, it is a 116B Code 121 chassis.
116X Code 122 sets have a thicker power transformer (more iron), and the two tube sockets along the left edge of the chassis as shown in your photo would be 4-pin sockets for 6A3 tubes.
You may find this page useful as you service your 116:

It outlines undocumented changes to the 116 AVC circuit.

Wait - hold the phone, folks.
No, I'm not that good...once again, a case of looking at something right after getting up...
Let's try this again.
That chassis has round tube shields!
Brenda, can we see the front of the chassis, please, showing the dial scale? From the back, the dial setup looks like a 116 but the chassis itself looks more like a 16 Code 125...
And can you tell me this: Does the band switch have 4 positions, or 5?
