Nice early version Model 16X console

I found this early version Model 16X console located within a 3 hr drive, I was surprised to see that it still had the orginal acoustic back on it. Sometimes luck is on your side~~~~~~ Icon_biggrin Icon_biggrin

Great acquisition! Should be an awesome radio when restored.

I have the Model 17 version of your set. It's in pretty rough shape...I'm hoping to convince a friend of mine who does cabinets to handle that part for me while I restore the electronics eventually. Mice lived in my set for a long time...fortunately, I have an extra 17 chassis if I need parts...
