Just my 2 cents worth.

The Philco 16 series is a 1935 or '36 model and a very impressive set.
A very high performance 11 tube chassis.

I agree Dave, that was a very dim evaluation of a high quality set that may need relatively easy work as the cabinet appears as though it may be in good condition which is often the hardest thing to fix. Done several 16's myself, with a little patience and good work habits, they are not that difficult to do. And seeing how the owner already has the set, there is no reason not to use this set with the Bakelite blocks as a great learning experience.
