I restored one last year that sounded great, as good or better than my 38 690. I had another 116 that I planned on using as a parts radio, but decided to restore it also based on the first one.

This one is in pretty bad shape, but I am almost done with the chassis. The cabinet will be more challenging.

A the Philcos that I have do have good bass, but not as much as the Zeniths I have. That said, I think the Zenith has too much and the Philco just enough bass.
