Philco 116
#6

There's 2 versions of the 116B an early and late. Early uses a 10 1/2" spkr the late an 8'' spkr. The 116X uses the same chassis but instead of the p/p 42's it uses p/p 6A3's, bigger pt and rectifier tube. Spkr is 14" or so.

The 116B is aka the code 121. Didn't  disistinguish between early and late. And the 116X is aka code 122. The only service revisions I could find were in the Riders, Philco lists a bulletin #222 but we don't have it in the library. Pretty sure the rf,IF and det stages are the same between the two sets just audio stages and p/s are the difference.

5uv @ 18MC sounds good for this old guy! Any of the 16's or 116's are great players! When rebuilt properly.

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 it!
