Great findIcon_thumbup! Congratulations! I love the look of this model 16 and your appears to be in great original condition, NICE!
I wanted this version for years and finally picked one up early this summer. Mine is the later version with the cylindrical caps. I paid $175 for mine, but someone had refinished the cabinet (wrong) and it didn't have the correct knobs, but the origial grille cloth is still good as is the cabinet and chassis. It's on my to do list for this winter. looking forward to restoring it, I've heard great things about this model!
