Even though I already have a 116B, I couldn't pass up this one at Lexington today...

Notice something missing?

While you're trying to figure out what's missing, here are some more photos.

Figured it out yet? Yes, the band switch knob is missing, and the band switch shaft appears to be missing also. But if you looked at the under-chassis photo, you can see that the band switch is in place.

Let's take a closer look:

Now, compare that with how it should look in this photo by Richard G. Hines from the "116 Dial Drive Rebuilding" page on my site:

The piece that attaches to the band switch outside the chassis is made so that the dial scale fits inside it, and has a shaft of its own which goes through the cabinet front panel, and to which the knob is attached.

This piece is broken on this 116.

I think I have one in my stash o'stuff. I hope so, anyway.

The chassis looks "barn fresh," but also looks like someone tried to work on it in the recent past. Pretty grungy. The band switch is frozen in place, as is the tuning condenser.

This could be a challenging project. The cabinet is in good shape overall, just needing to be properly refinished. It's the chassis that may be a challenge.
