Black shutter dial, original wooden knobs, magic eye, motorized tuning ?, & a scope! That's one heck of a buy! I really like the chairsides. Nice find!

Thanks guys, hope you don't mind, I couldn't resist the temptation to invoke bragging rights. Pretty good sale. Craig, this 7 toober doesn't have the motorized tuning, just the 9, 12, and 15 tube chassis' have that, but still quite a bargain. I have another 7S240 and a 7S261.

I've never had any but 7 toobers, the 9S262 is one in particular I like very much. Ron has or did have a '262 also.
This craigslist seller is moving to Florida and doesn't want to lug the Zenith or the 'scope. This is my first really good score in a while, at least as far as radios I want to keep for myself. The 7S261 I got for $85, back in March '10. Mike

BTW Ron never let us know whether or not he finished his 9S262.

Maybe I should check Craigslist more often. Good for you, Mike.

Thanks Steve. These ads are apt to come up at most any time, I happened to be at the right place at the right time.

But, yes, it is still here...spare parts and all to (hopefully) make that dial look better... And Mike (Michael Dennis) - congratulations on your finds! So what if the chairside has a crack? For $30, including a scope, I would say you did very well indeed! ![]() -- Ron Ramirez Ferdinand IN
