That's a nice haul! You won't be disappointed with the 116!

My 116B has a 116X chassis/speaker in it. The PP 6A3 output is super. Also have a 116B chasssis mounted in what I believe is a custom highboy cabinet. So I claim to be the only collector with a 116 console radio in a tombstone cabinet and a tombstone 116 radio in a console cabinet.

Yes, it is "bass ackwards" but what the heck.....

My 16B cathedral has a 1935 4 band 16 chassis mounted in it. The original chassis was worked on by someone who made a mess of it, so I found the chassis that I currently have. I like having the coarse/fine tuning feature that the 1935 16s have.

Your 16B shouldered tombstone is one that has eluded me thus far. Seems like you don't see them as much as the other 16 models......
