Thanks Buzz.

The popping cork sound gag when pulling tubes makes me chuckle every time.

Regards to Dickel.

Beautiful chassis work Buzz! Hopefully you'll find the correct schematic. I'll look over my schematic archives to see if something matches.

Hi Buzz, great job on the Zenith cube.
As Richard said thanks for sharing the videos.
Also good catch on the schematic misprint of cap location.
Regards, Mike

Nice job on the Cube Buzz. One thing I like about your vids is the background music. A lot of it reminds me of the "Our Gang" and "Little Rascals" shorts of the 1930s and 1940s. (I vaguely remember some from the 20s but they were silent.) Some of the tunes were actually used in those classics.

"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8
"Let us begin to do good"- St. Francis

Most of the background music in Buzz's videos is pulled from the "Little Rascals" and "Our Gang" movies played by The Beau Hunks. He also uses audio clips of the gang from those movies. Brings back old memories.

BTW, I seem to remember one episode, in their barn / club house was a Radiola V or VI, both very obsolete by the mid 1930s.

"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8
"Let us begin to do good"- St. Francis

Another great rescue Buzz! The cabinet and chassis look great... those little 5 tube Zenith cubes are pretty good performers.
