Philco 116X
#1

I ended up in Canton, OH at about 10pm thursday evening after finding this radio advertised on craigslist at 9pm. I at first thought it was a 37-116, but it turns out I found a complete model 116X instead. The guy claimed to have been using it for a while, but the last time he went to use it there was smoke from around the transformer. So, I will possibly be looking for another transformer for this unit when work starts on it in the future. This is a big console and looks like a monolith sitting beside my other Philco floor radios right now! It might be interesting to try and score both a 37-116 and a 38-116 now so I have the whole evolution of this style of Philco. Each one has enough changes and improvements to warrant having one of each.
