Thanks, Ron. Maybe I'll find one someday.

Thirties: I communicated with the same fellow on ARF and offered either my RCA 128 or my Zenith 6S330. But I did not follow up with pics. I really did not want to part with my RCA. Good to hear that you got it and are making it right.

I am pretty much done with my 16B tombstone, just rubbed it down with oil and will polish it in a day or two. The chassis plays but I am not satisfied with the sound quality. If I am up to it I will clear off my work table and start working on it. (again).

Hi Tom. Yes I'm sure that is the one I swapped for. I think he posted a photo of the Zenith I swapped him. I had been drooling to get a 16B and just had to have his. It is all original and was in exceptional shape. The shadow meter broke off during shipment but I was able to repare it. I've read where you have to remove the meter or pack them well before shipping.
I wouldn't part with a RCA 128 as well. That is a beautiful radio. I have one that needs total restoration. My only concern is the few pieces of veneer that are missing on the front arch top. That area is very visable and needs to look right. My dial is very, very dark as well so I'll need a new one.
Nice that you are finishing up with the 16B cabinet. I haven't done a thing yet with my cabinet but I do listen to it daily. Hope you get it sounding like you want as they do have exceptional sound. I do need to take a peek at mine as I used the side switch for the first time and didn't notice any change. I think it does some type of bass boosting at low levels...I may be wrong. I checked the switch and it is good. I know the early ones used the switch for a type of squelch between stations which is a neat feature.
