I remember that a friend of mine found a 1935 vintage Sparton chassis that was apparently mounted in a wall in a similar fashion, complete with it's VG-1 Visoglow tube. Someone on here found a brand Z shutterdial chassis where someone had done that. It must have been a fashion to install radios behind wall panels at one time, on occasion you see it in old movies as well.
Now what I could use is a cabinet for a 116 chassis, I have one that came out of a console that a guy got me to fix and then abandoned it here. Unfortunately the console did not have it's original 10'' speaker nor it's acoustical clarifiers. It came with two 8'' Magnavox speakers mounted to a board, and the plug for them didn't even match up with the one in the chassis. In any event I never did get that chassis working properly, I was testing it with an H series speaker out of a Philco 96, I may get back to it some day.
