The 116B is a 5 band Radio not just an AM only radio, I have one that I'm currently working on and yes, it is a PITA radio to work on because you have over 30 capacitors (most of them of which are in Bakelite Block Assemblies which you literally have to take a heat-gun and melt the potting material (tar) just enough so you can remove the old paper cap guts and restuff the bakelite blocks with new capacitors.
The alignment job is also a pony trick and a half because you have to align 5 different radio bands (2 shortwave bands, a police band, an AM (Broadcast) band and a Long Wave Band, and there are over 10 different alignment points on this radio that you have to keep track of.
So with that in mind I can completely sympathize with Rick here.
Just my 2 cents.
