I found this radio at a church rummage sale a couple weeks back for $50, which is cheap for a Zenith in good shape. Had it gone through and it is a good performer with the push-pull 6F6 tubes and really sucks in he stations. Icon_smile I also like the clean lines of the cabinet.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
