Reneamed: Winter Electronic restorations
#36

I jumped into that Zenith 5G500 that was supposedly dead. within 20 seconds I found the problem. The butthead who tried putting the new line cord on, soldered the 2 wires so poorly that they didn't stick to the terminals. They much have touched because it blew out the 117Z6. I recapped it but there was a lot of rubber wiring so I did that too.

She is playing real nice now... I just need the handle to arrive from oldtymeradio.com...
