Philco Model 16B Cathedral
#1

I am starting on my Model 16B all over again.  I have been through it before, but it was several years ago, and before I discovered this site.  Most of the bakelite blocks are there, but need to be restuffed, and I need to restuff the cans as well.  I have ordered the schematic set from Chuck, so hopefully that will be arriving soon.  There are no markings indicating a code number anywhere on the tube chart or chassis.  There is a number stamped into the chassis: Z54009, which I am assuming is a serial number.  There is a date stamped inside the cabinet: April 34.  Everything appears to be there except for 3 of the round tube shields.  

It does play, so at least it is working, but the large rectangular can is still in circuit and needs to be restuffed. I have not done one of these before, so don't know what to expect here.  I have done the can on the Model 95, and am thinking it may be similar.  

I do need to replace the dial scale.  The old one is so dark that the light does not show thru it, and it is broken in several places.  The dial scale is secured by 7 small rivets, and I am wondering what methods of reattachment you all have used.  They are small hollow rivets, similar to a pop rivet, but look smaller than a pop rivet.  I am thinking that small screws and nuts may cause problems.

I am open to suggestions and any other possible pit falls that may lie ahead.  Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom from this group.
