No the 39-116 also has a tuned RF amplifier stage, and it has three bands as opposed to the 39-55 which only has the AM broadcast band. Basically the radio section uses six tubes, the remote receiver uses four tubes, and while it has push pull outputs it looks like they used the screen grid inversion trick like they did on the 40-180. One other good thing about this set is that the grille cloth looks like it's in good condition which is always a bonus.
Regards
Arran
