new c/l find 116B tombstone
#4

It's an very good price, it looks reasonably complete, but I also noticed that it has some trim missing around the base, and some possible cabinet delamination and or water damage. That is the late version 116B from 1936, the early version has a shouldered cabinet similar to a Philco 620-650 but larger.
Unfortunately Philco decided to cheapen out on the speaker, they used an 8'' K series rather then the 10'' H series that the 16Bs and early version 116B used. This is really a shame as I like the late version 116B cabinet more then the early version, I think they used a higher quality cabinet with more veneer and less shading lacquer.
Regards
Arran
