So if you have time to kill here's a few pics of my late 116B  https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=19320   https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=15140 Scroll down a bit.

The baseboard in mine was falling apart. Steve Davis fabricated a new one for me and the fit was perfect. Also the banding for the outside on it and the 39-80. All of which went on without a hitch. He specializes in parts for the older cathedral cabinets and some handy tools. 

Those AK power supplies are a bit of a scourge. The filter caps are buried in a gooey muck of tar. And an audio choke to maneuver around. Loads of laughs. I have a my self that someday I may get around to. I think I'd rather work on TV's. And I'm not that good at it. [Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...wisted.gif]
