Some of these vintage Zenith radios are functioning works of art. The workmanship was world leaders back in the day. About a year ago I picked up a black leather box from the dump. I didn`t know what it was until I got home. Now it is a fully functional Zenith Transoceanic H500 made in July1954. Same year I was made. Ha Thanks for your informative videos in learning a new hobby. Great past time in these winter months. Currently fixing a A600 that had been previously worked on by a slopped headed Neanderthal. It`s been interesting.
If you have chassis with residue asbestos you can remove it with short strips of Gorilla tape. Rub the tape across the edge and it will grab the fibers nicely. Put used strips in a ziploc bag and throw it in the trash. Really nice Zenith war baby radio.
For just an AM Radio, it was waaaay over designed! To many CAPs & to many Resistors. True, it is more sensitive, especially with that multi section V.C. -- Where the push buttons are located, some Brasso on those plates would help. Other then that...it looks nice!
