My Philco 16B
#1

Here is my 1935 shouldered 16B. It is the radio on the upper right. It will come inside when finished. Still haven't done the cabinet. I restored the chassis and replaced all capacitors and every resistor. I've found when you replace all the resistors with close to original tolerances the radios really play well. This will be a nice radio when done and all the original inside papers are still attached. I really like the 16B and I'm buying another version as I'm so impressed with their performance. I have a radio bar with an 11 tube chassis that plays but it needs to have the bakelite blocks rebuilt.
