Welcome to the Phorum!

Lots of help available here in the Phorum.  For starters one way to get at those bakelite block capacitors is found in our Library section.  Bakelite Block data is also available in the Library. 

There are a number of threads in the Electronic Restoration section on 116B restorations. 116B Thread by Phlogiston.  116B thread by Radioroslyn.  116B thread by Klondike98 and there are others you can find by searching for them.
