I acquired this one about three years ago. Went to Massachusetts to pick it up.
Now it's number is up, I decided to give it the resto session.
It is in good shape, fairly clean. The grillcloth is missing but the cone is near mint. And I had ordered the herringbone Kenny recommended. From Kenny.
The chassis is on my bench now.

come on mike that's the cleanest work area I have ever seen
and it`s about time you get to that
I have just vacuumed it after the mess Kirk has left here
One more feature: it has the old FM band. Not sure what to do with it. It's useless today. Building the converter is not my plan.
I have one of those Mike. I've Been walking by it for the last year. Look forward to your restoration and what you encounter.

One thing I noticed, the external wiring uses the infamous rubber coated wire and it is ... molting
Other than that, console Zeniths, as most large chassis single-storeyed jobs, don't present many inconveniences while working on them. I hope the transformer is good, as other things are fairly simple. I had to rewind an RF choke on the 9S262 I did 4 years back, it wasn't too bad.
Those are pretty nice looking, some say too much with the spindles and cut out on front but I like em..
Good luck.

Matter of taste, Paul, matter of taste. I like it. Else I wouldn't go all the way yo Plymouth Mass to get it.
The Zenith Spinet is one radio I would gladly still welcome into my collection if I could find one. I found a few four years back, but people here think they are worth a fortune. Now with the stupid maker's movement, I fear these neat radios might be prime targets for wine rack or i-pod dock conversion.
Wow, they are both high and I really don't have much money to play with since spending $180 on tires for the van yesterday. Also, no paypal.. Akron isn't far from me, but I have never heard of Sylvania, Ohio. Now I have to look that up!
Overseas?
They make good swords over there.
Here's a question. Riders does not have the sch. The sch has external b!ocks and some pieces but no full sch or chassis drawing.
There is 10H571R but I am not sure it is the same, plus the chassis is different.
Does anyone have the docs for this one or a link I could follow?
did you Google it,,,because it comes up in Antigue radio forum ,,, article ---schematic
Antique electronic supply has it ,,,copy the display,,,,found under google,,,CHEERS
