116B in action
#1

The vid quality isn't the best but I simply stole my daughters Flip Camera to shoot these. The sound quality is good and should give you a good idea on what a great performer this set is. Also I'm having a real noise issue with a neighbor. I know it's their house causing it. Maybe more on that later. I'll add a few more including one of my restored 42-345 with the added long-wire antenna adapter. I can then show you what the actual results are using it as I know it's come up in discussion from time to time. I hope these vids inspire those beating around the bush with their projects to get them done Icon_wave

Hey Greg. I see you also had a few projects you've been working on the last couple of years. Anyhow still kicking, still looking at my unfinished projects. Still wondering why I haven't finished them Icon_eh

I too, wondered where in the dickens you got to. Danged great to know you're OK.

I bought a 116X a few weeks ago from a guy in Romulus. It is a masterpiece. I haven't gotten it in the house yet, but I have a taste of what it'll be doing, especially after recap and alignment. I already have the two table model versions of this set, but the "B" has more power output, and the U-2 speaker.

I've spent almost all of the year either in hospital, nursing home, or with my RH foot in a cast (as now). I lost the entire year.

Other than that, everything's just fine.

Keep in touch, ya big bum!

Hi Doug. I often wonder how you've been doing. Shoot me an email. I don't see one in your profile.
