Zenith 8G005 restore-Redux
#1

OK Terry here it comes….again...I know you’ve been waiting for this  Icon_biggrin

I picked up another 8G005 Transoceanic.  This one is not quite as good a shape as the one in my previous thread but better in most respect than the parts set I bought.  It’s also the earlier 8G005YT version with the 117Z3 rectifier.

The electrolytic cap (40/20/10 uF ) had been replaced at some time in the past as had the 88 ohm resistor (with a 72 ohm power resistor).  Both need replacing.  The rubber wiring on this set is not in as good a shape as the earlier set either.  I'll need to replace wire in several places and particularly the battery wires.  Here are some photos of the battery plug rewire.  Its not too hard to pry out the tabs holding the plug wafer face in place, you just need a thin bladed screw driver.  Take your time, I imagine it doesn't take much to crack the wafer.
