Hi Gary

Yes, that is indeed a Model 16 chassis - the early, 5-band version of the 16. It will physically fit in a cabinet designed for the 4-band 16, but be aware that the hole in your cabinet for the tuning shaft was made larger for the concentric knobs used for tuning on the 4-band version, and the hole may show if you install a 5-band chassis. The 5-band chassis does NOT have concentric tuning, it uses a single shaft that pulls out and pushes in to change speeds.

Did you win that one? Wow, the prices of 16 chassis are going through the roof. Have fun...
