GlennPR has a 118H that he bought from me. The cabinet was nicely restored with the proper toning before I acquired it, but the chassis needed a complete overhaul. Glenn is working on it now, and he said he would provide a photo when it is finished. It will look much better than the photo currently in the Gallery.

My original plan was to restore the chassis myself, add cloth and photograph it, but then I found a 91D that I liked better. With very limited space at our house, when the 91D came in, another console had to go and that happened to be the 118H.
