I just took the guts for the 116x up to be worked on today when I picked up the guts for my 111. Sadly, the power transformer is fried, so that will have to be replaced. Lots of capacitors in there as well! I'd better save up for the repair job bill on this one. I have a friend near Dayton who is big on Zenith radios that also has a working 116X and he loves it. That is a good sign coming from a Zenith collector if they really like the 116X! I will love to see how this beast makes things rattle. Icon_biggrin
