This 16B cathedral cabinet was given to me a few years ago by Ron Ramirez. Thanks Ron! I have two 5 band 16 chassis and will be installing one of them in this cabinet

Clearly, the cabinet has some veneer issues. There has been an extra hole drilled in the front panel possibly, for a tuning knob somehow connected directly to the tuning condenser.

The wrap-around has had a couple of extra holes drilled.
