TA Forbes Wrote:Ron, are the shouldered 16Bs less common than the non shouldered varieties? Or is it just me??

I looked for quite a while to find my shouldered model. I saw quite a few 16's on Ebay while searching, and two 116's that looked similar, but couldn't find the shouldered 16B tombstone. It may be just the perticular time I was searching. I found mine on another forum...the guy wanted a black dial Zenith. I swapped him a 6-S-128 Zenith as I had 2 of them. I'm much happier with the 16B... would have swapped even if I only had one. The 6-S-128 is common and my 16B can out perform it in every way....except seeing the dial from across a room Icon_eek

The 16B is one of my favorite tabletop radios Icon_biggrin
