Hi Pete,

Two questions:

1. How did you manage to cram three extra tubes into an already overcrowded 37-620 chassis?

2. Can you please give me more details about your LED tuning indicator?

I used to own a partial 38-690 (missing the lower chassis). I had grand plans of building my own audio amp/power supply chassis for it. Unfortunately those plans never materialized, and the set is now gone.

As to the unpopularity of the late version 116B, strangely enough, that cabinet is my favorite Philco model. I have a complete set already, and I was kind of hoping I would end up using my 665 chassis in this cabinet anyway since I already have a complete 116B. Philco only used the 665 chassis in console cabinets, so this will truly be a one-of-a-kind set.
