  I went to our club auction here in Dallas and I bid on this 116 Tombstone  and took it home for 190$ You don't see these come around to offen and I really wanted it . Nobs are gone but as far as I can tell everything else is there. This 116 will go in nicely with my other philcos. Restoration will begin soon and if you guys want I can post my progress, I came across a 91 cathedral all intact and will start on that one as well and payed 185$ for that one on ebay plus 35$ shipping, not bad A. Correct toner for 116 tombstone would be what ? Which v pattern cloth is best for 116 tombstone, radio daze or Richman designs ?  Im guessing extra dark walnut around the front face molding and the rest medium walnut for 116 ? Semi gloss or satin ?
