This Zenith was the purchase I made in the last Kutztown, 30 minutes before I left.
An impulse buy.

I showed the image in one of the general threads.

So today I put it on the bench and looked inside.
The radio has been previously restored.

I cannot say anything bad, the soldering is good and the parts are good too.
But no re-stuffing, and the electrolytics were not salvaged, even if only for looks which is what I would prefer.


The reason I opened it up is the tuning mechanism does not rotate; according to the seller it froze.
Well, upon opening I realized it did not freeze: it is exact same problem I had this winter with my dad's Westinghouse I restored 7 years ago: the belt simply assumed a narrow oval shape.

   

Now that I opened it up, I will clean the tuning cap, the glass, order and replace the belt and should it work, give it an alignment.

   
   
   

Now off to ordering the belt.
