Nice set, good player, excellent sensitivity and selectivity, plays loud!
Aside from the strictly electrical service you may want to have a look at the 2sp dial reduction drive (disassemble, clean, and grease). Under the tuning cap there are 3 rubber grommets that most of the time have failed causing the tuning to seem loose onto the chassis. If so replacement are in order.
I serviced a late model 116B and a 116X (pretty much the same chassis but the B has a smaller output stage as it's a big table model) a couple of yrs ago.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
