Found and Repaired: Zenith Royal 2000 

I just fixed my deceased dad’s Royal 2000. It had the same low, low volume intermittently. Some times it was just dead quite. I jumped out the same capacitor by disconnecting the tap connection on the volume pot and then ran wires using micro hooks to put in a 6 uF electrolytic as a replacement in the circuit. It’s working good now. I will do a real repair this week and check out the rest of the radio. Thank you so much for documenting your FA. 4 years later, it is still helping us out. I am so happy to have my Dad’s radio 📻 back!

Cowbell and all sounds great after the tone fix.

Great job Broski!! Good info too. I have to restring mine. Wish you had posted that in your video.

I used to have one of those ten bucks at the flea market, (20 years ago), a very sensitive radio. Shouldn't have let it go. A great find.

Neat little radio. 📻

Great radio, and nice job finding the problems!

Nice little radio man. I love the way he cut the labels so they point precisely.

Yeah, the dial cord restringing is a b!tch, I would need to censor myself for all the cursing I've done while fussing with the cord, springs, etc. Best that you didn't show any of that. If you need to restring, there are some Beitmans manuals with schematics on worldradiohistory.com, used to be americanradiohistory.com. Lots of books etc. I could spend hours looking at all the old magazines like Popular Electronics. Thanks for the great video.

I enjoyed your video. I would have liked to have seen more of your diagnostic process :-)

Sure wish you filmed the restringing. I have one that needs it.

I think I seen this radio on goodwill auctions ,reconditioning mention this site sometimes they have some.great deals.

96.3 KFSG = now KXOL-FM. KFSG was a religious format from 1970 to 2001. 99.5 KHOF = now KKLA-FM. KHOF was a religious format from 1956 to 1982. 105.9 KWST = now KPWR. KWST was easy listening music from 1969 to 1975.

Thank you for the info ,I betting it is is Easyer to buy tunner cord then it is putting it on .

Great video. Do the knobs just pull right off? I will have to fix the string on tuners some day. It really is a heavy radio

Is Shango066 your brother, you guys sound similar?

Great radio. It's seems the knobs were swapped

Love these Zeniths. Nice repair... What was the model/name of that testing device you used on the transistors ?

Nice job ,that's a great sounding radio,can I ask where you buy the tuner cord and the tension spring at,replacing one of those cords has got to be a learn the hard way skills .

first comment i dont know what to say

Why are the american radios all so ugly?
