What my 16B looked like when I got it and then....
#7

Nice save, Art. We were looking at a house recently that has that same type of paneling in one room - no radios built into the wall, though.

Now I know why your 16B has 1938 pattern V cloth. It would appear to me that the radio was probably put into the wall no earlier than mid to late 1937, as that pattern of cloth was not offered by Philco until the 1938 model year (which came out in June 1937).
