Yes Terry, 500 for a 37-116 seems a little stiff. Local pickup a little better. I have the chassis for a 38-116 on my bench now. Finishing it up for my friend. He got it for free. Wish I could find a deal like that. I only want a small number of radios but like to pick out ones for replacing others. The 116 on my bench is just a splendid radio although I have not seen the cabinet. My friend will restore that. Just shows some get lucky on price. The style of those radios don't really trip my trigger. I like the highboys with the spindle legs. To each there own and at my age, and financial situation money means little. Of course, I don't want to be screwed. Just having fun.
