Restoring a Zenith YT960 Stereo Console with Z57 Reel to Reel / Wollensak 5730 

I had no idea how very cool these consoles really were (and still are) until I started watching these restorations. Imagine ... an integrated reel-to-reel. Amazing.

WHAAATTT??? I've never seen a pop up reel to reel unit in a console before. I've seen upwards facing reel to reels in consoles before but never a pop up one...

I worked at a big Zenith dealer over 40 yrs & never knew they built this. Gotta be real rare. Well done ! LFOD !

Nice job, i would have it apart, and it never going back together.

Oh yeah! gostei, foi uma bela manutenção no tape Zenich, ficou jóia,, trocando correrias & Rolo pressor , incluindo a lubrificação, oh! yeah gostei,, tenho também um tape akai model 1721 W e funciona muito bem, pois manutenções eu faço Oh yeah! I liked it, it was a great maintenance on the Zenich tape, it was great, changing the belts and pressure roller, including the lubrication, oh! yeah I liked it, I also have an Akai model 1721 W tape and it works very well, because I do the maintenance

I love the full featured consoles , I have a Magnavox, and a fisher with a R2R ... play the R2R as much as the rest of the sets phono or radios

A challenging tape deck to restore Steve. Excellent video demonstrating little pitfalls that one may incure.

Beautiful work man ! Question,,, will the tape deck go down with reels on it, it looks awfully tight....

really nice equipment, would love to have it on my home

I sent you an email. Hoping that you are interested in repairing the tape deck for my YT960...

Wooo! Been waiting for this one! So cool to see a restoration video than I will be following to restore my late mom's YT960. Neat seeing the exact same model. 🙂

I thought brown bread was a thanksgiving dish, evidently not

Just one question Spanna, Is "wanky design" an official term??

Cool unit. Danish Modern styling I'd guess. Very nice work! Someone will love this great unit.22:10 "Peened Over" 23:03 JB Weld Epoxy 39:00 Looks like audio amplifier speaker output level components on the board. If so I'm surprised they didn't omit them. Then again low production levels probably don't justify it.

wow, would love to have one of those

Really nice video.

This is fantastic!

nice..

יותר מידי מסטיק. אף פעם לא רואים מה בעצם הוא עושה. רק דיבורים מעייפים
