The various incarnations of the 16B are great radios. I have both the cathedral and a 'shouldered' tombstone versions. Now I just need the two 'peaked-top' variants and I'll be all set. Icon_smile

Anyway, here are some links you may find useful:

Better and more complete info, including service bulletins, is available from Chuck Schwark:

    Use a small oil filter gasket. Get an equivalent to a Fram 3387A filter and remove the thick rubber gasket.
    It is almost an exact match.
You may need to use glue or epoxy to get the gasket to stay in place.
