When I smell a rat, this is always the first one: Did the character who re-capped the set do an alignment when he was finished? Sounds to me like he just replaced a few capacitors, and called it restored. The alignment of that set could be a mile off.
Yes, all of the things you heard about the Philco 16 are true. It was a monumental set, and a demon for performance. You have one of the best performing radios that was made in the thirties. If you can find someone who knows how to align it, and has the equipment, the set can knock you on the floor with its operation!
