Philco 16B

If you want your 128 someone fixed right by someone I recommend that you contact Steve Davis. He literally built a Philco 43 cabinet for me and his work is VERY good!

RE your dial, many of the earlier models from 1935 had a dark red dial that was tough to see through. You can try brighter pilot lights, just make sure that the plastic diffusers in front of the lights are not so close to them that you burn holes in them from the brighter (and hotter) bulb.

I just switched over to Radio Viet Nam. Yep, I guess time does heal all wounds, even from those __________. (word that means one's parents were not married)

Hey Tom. Thanks for the tip for cabinet repair.
What are you using for an antenna? Sounds like you are getting great SW reception!
Do you know if the repro Rca 128 dial that radio daze sells is the dark one? I've seen some light colored repro's on 128's on the net and I've heard that a couple different variations are sold.
