116 and 16
#4

So did the 16 and 16Bs both use push-pull #42s? Why did Philco use 6A3s in the 116s? It seems sort of a nuisance that they would produce essentially the same set with a different power output stage? Especially now that 6A3s are much harder to find then #42s, I think that the Philco 116s were one of the few sets that used 6A3s, other then that they were mostly used in jukebox amps. A model 16 is one of the sets I am keeping my eyes open for, especially one of the slated top tombstones, but a 16H, 16X, or 16L would also be welcome, or a 16MX if one exists. I remember my uncle used to have a 116B, one of the late versions without the shoulders, that's another worthwhile set even though it only has the 8'' speaker in it.
Regards
Arran
