I am listening to Radio Peking on my 118H as I write this......

Agree about the model 16 radios. I have a 16B cathedral and a 16X, both are great recievers and players. I am currently restoring a 16B non shouldered tombstone, and suspect that it will sound better than the cathedral by virtue of the larger speaker.

I would add that the 116B and the 37-670 are other great Philco table radios.


Hello,
Thank you for the response. Sounds like you have some very nice radios. I agree about the larger speaker as the 10" speaker on my 16B has great bass and tone. With the 16B I received a very nice 116 chassis and 10" speaker....... just waiting for a cabinet. Icon_biggrin

Good luck with all your restorations!
