Well, Kirk finished the cabinet which I got from him during the last Kutztown meet.
(I will have to drill the hole for the switch. Somehow it is veneered over and Kirk swore it was not him )



The chassis is not too bad.
The speaker is another matter: although electrically it is OK, xfmr, field and all, but the cone is missing half the wavy part (almost like eaten with something) at the perimeter, and though rubber cement came to mind.....it is too muchm almost half, and surely will affect the sound quality which would be OK for a radio like 38-12 but not OK for a 16.
So I will either get a new speaker or re-cone this one which probably will be the same price.

There were repairs done prior to me, likely in 40-s: there are some bright orange tubular caps that I also encountered in Zeniths before. There was also something else, I forgot. Plus the antenna and GND clips were bent out of shape, not sure what the purpose was; I had to bent them back.


I took some pictures, will post them later.
This is going to be a battle.

Although, in all honesty, while looking underneath, I had noticed it is a better arranged chassis with easier access to parts than, say, the 18 or 118 which I have just finished.
