Super duper, like the case, and wavemagnet is good down to the suction cups. A piece of history, many were morale radios. I hope she works out well for you.

Looks good Morzh. I had no idea they went for that much!
Nice Zenith it almost looks brand new. How do those radios perform. I never saw one in person or have heard one play.
That one sure looks pretty clean. Isn't your other one missing the front cover? I always liked the look of these, for some reason they remind me of something that would be in an old Flash Gordon television episode.
I have one in pretty nice condition but the handle, like on many, is missing. Decent replacements are easy to find, but I don't see an easy way to replace it short of drilling out the old mounts, but then the correct rivets are hard to find.
Would you do me a favor and measure the length of your handle sometime?

I just have measured it with a thin tape measure, it is exactly 9".
And, yes, the other one is missing the front cover. And it is a female dog to find.
Thanks Mike!
When you get around to fixing them there seems to be a little known problem with the candohm having to be isolated from the chassis. The following old thread is from a guy who used to restore a ton of Transoceanics:

The 7G605 is the Very First Transoceanic from Zenith.
Or, for that matter, the very first portable multi-band short-wave radio.
Otherwise, later models of course improved the characteristics, and then RCA, Stromberg-Carlson and Hallicrafter came out with their All World, Strato World and such.
But this was the first one.
Looks complicated
Glad you got it with the cover.
hey mike
so now you have a nice collection of transoceanic`s
sam
Yes, I have those three you gave me. I have yet to deal wit those.
Plus I have a companion 5G-something.
