Hmm. My 15K as the metal tone pipes and also has the back. Only issue I have had with mine is the fact the tuning eye quit working. It glows, but doesn't respond. I know my 116X is a wonderful radio to use and seems to be a bit better at pulling in AM stations and shortwave than my 15K.
No matter where you go, there you are.
