To be fair, the 116B wasn't yet restored(still isn't) but it worked quite well. I also never aligned it to make sure sensitivity was on the up and up. Last time I used was spring of 07 and I don't recall it working any better than this set. In fact I recall SW reception being a little weaker. But again it's not a fair test yet. I need to get going on it again. I have it half way done but I've been to lazy to get back on her Icon_confused Plus, I have a second one that is complete, but dead. Maybe next year for that one. I need to get both cabinets done. One was damaged in shipping due to poor packing. Long story on that one Icon_mad
