Hey Mike
Looks like you got a NICE one there! On the grille cloth you may want to try to salvage a bit of the center of it. You may find the that you will have to buy two pieces, one to cover large opening and a second for the two clairfilers. The large Philcos in '36 used a odd bandswitch knob it's not the same one that's use in '37 and later. You have the correct one.
It's a big set but not bad to work on like the newer '37 model. Doesn't have the separate David Grimes RF chassis which is a pain to service.
Hope your 6A3's are good and strong!
Terry
ps How's the dial? Is it missing? You may want to edit your subject line to say 116X. The 116 is a table set.
