Very sad 116X
#6

A couple of years ago, I learned of an interesting cabinet variation in 116X cabinet production. That is that the veneer on the left and right front cabinet corner radiuses had the grain running horizontally in early production, while in later production the corner veneer grain ran vertically.
My 116X's cabinet was only slightly better than yours before I had a cabinetmaker restore it for me. I installed the reproduction grille cloth myself and I did the chassis work. Here's how it came out. Please notice the corner grain.
