ZENITH 6-S-229 REPAIR
#31

Looks good Mike! 

The first radio I restored was your radios predecessor, the 5-S-127.  Long story, but it was given to me as a young teen by very good friends of our family, but didn't get restored until several years later when I was in the USAF.  I was very impressed with its performance also and DX'd many shortwave and BC stations with it.  I probably ought to pull it out, replace the belt, give it a polish, and freshen up cap/resistors one of these days.
