Philco 116X in a 116 Tombstone cabinet
#2

Hi Tom

No doubt you are pleased! I once had a 116X chassis, which I later shoehorned into an early 116B shouldered tombstone cabinet. Only instead of using the U-7 console speaker, I used the speaker used in the tombstone, an H-13. I'm surprised the 116B will hold up that heavy U-7 speaker, even with added supports! Icon_eek

On mine, I did not file a notch for the hum control rheostat; it fit okay without adding a notch, but the rheostat did rub against that side of the cabinet. It did not come out of adjustment, though.

A tombstone with 15 watts audio output...all I can say is WOW!

I don't have my "hybrid" anymore, but instead I have two conventional 116B sets - both the early and late versions.
