I tended to find the RF deck leaning more towards the difficult, but I am not what I would call a "skilled technician."

I have a model 116X, a 37-116X, and a 38-116X in my living room. Also have a 116B with 116X speaker/chassis installed and a custom highboy cabinet with a 116B chassis/speaker installed there as well. I would love to add a 116B non-shouldered tombstone. There are witnesses out there who have seen this. When I figure out how to use radios for furniture my victorian couch, chairs, and marble-topped tables will all be replaced with radios.
