My cabinet has a factory hole in the right side of the cabinet . What
went there ?
went there ?
On the chassis , dial facing you in the front right corner are 2 black
cloth wires sticking out & cut . under that corner there is a block cap
where those cut wires go . The block cap is unhooked . What was this for
? Radio works as-is

Have a look at this image. There looks to be some sort of switch or
something there. http://antiqueradios.com/albums/Philco/my16B.jpg

The switch was to turn on or off the QAVC, actually a squelch type circuit
that muted interstation noise.

If your Model 16 is code 125 like mine (deco pointy roof), that switch
controls bass compensation. Otherwise it's for QAVC.

Thanks Dave for the picture ( 2nd pic didnt work) Ok this is a Philco
16 code 125 - 126 printed on the label inside the cabinet . Big huge
pointed top cabinet .
I have seen 3 or 4 pictures of these on the net now and all of them have
a single tuning knob . Mine has the double knob tuning like a 620 has .
Do i have a wrong chassis ? or i`m blind .

think that the single knob ones... those are a push pull operation
to shift gears in the drive with one knob.. always the rubber
in them needs replaced.. someplace around here in this mess I have
an old O-ring labeled... This is right size for replacement of one
of the rubber drives.. it works great if you get correct stuff in
there... otherwise its turns hard or not at all..
