parted out 38-116
#1

Literally in parts, the cabinet is coming apart at the seams. All parts are there. The veneer is very good yet and with some glue I should be able to get it solid again. The cabinet is basically stripped eventually saving me time. Chassis is original and very clean underneath. A $25 CL find.

Stripped too. Had someone tried to start refinishing?

Ah, a 38-116 in kit form. I didn't know that you could remove the control panel and top that way, very interesting. I have a G.E cabinet that has a curved control panel, though it does have a separate top, even though it had some screws holding it in it was very difficult to remove.

The finish just peeled off over the years. I've seen others like that, the 116B's did that too.

It may have been stored in somewhat less then a controlled environment, like an unheated garage, shed or basement. Not enough to make the veneer delaminate but enough to make the lacquer start to lift and flake off.

Nice set. Too bad about the cracked dial (or is it just the picture?) I think someone did strip or dunk the cabinet, but it should turn out very well.

And no grill bars.......Poor Great Philco!

It has the grill bars too. They are off to the side. The glue dried out on them too and they just popped off nicely. It really is like a kit project.

Kit without instruction manual. Takes an expert! We'll be watching!

That 38-116 looks like a pretty nice project. I hope you will post some more pictures as you go along. I'm glad it went to you rather than end up in some landfill.

I will definitely post pictures but wont get to it until the winter as it stands now. I have too many home projects before the summer runs out!
