I've been trying to get to se a Philco 116X that was overpriced on Craigslist for a couple of months. I was able to haggle.

Finally connected wit h the guy today, and got the set. Other than for the usual top issues from vases, etc, the cabinet is BEEEYOOTIFUL. Grille cloth perfect. The set had been serviced at one time or another, and the original main filter condensers have been replaced, but no tears shed over that. Other than the early servicing, the set hasn't been molested.

As with the 37-650 sets, I MAY have all iterations of the 116. I have both table sets, and now, this one. Was there a chairside and/or a phono version of that model? If there are other variants of it, I'll let chance take me to them. I already have too many sets awaiting restoration.

The set is still in the car, so the pix are forthcoming. Dang, it's nice!
