I've read that it is fairly common to find an older 16B chassis in a newer cabinet for the tombstone models. I haven't seen mention of this part before and thought it might be of interest:

   

   

It's basically a small wooden donut that sits in the tuning knob shaft hole. This prevents there being an obvious visible gap. Mine came with at code 121 chassis BTW.

Not sure if it's factory original or not but seems like a nice touch.
