Zenith 6-S-1-whatever
#31

So I drilled the needed holes and installed two of the terminal strips needed.

   

The aluminum strip was then installed on the back of the chassis.

   

I had to drill an extra hole in back of the chassis to make a grounding point. I felt that would be better than relying on a solder blob, or running a long wire to a grounding lug. The red arrow points to where I drilled the extra hole in the chassis.

Then, with the strip in place, I moved the wires from the Candohm to the new assembly.

   

Notice how I mounted the terminal strip at far right at an angle. This was done to make sure it, and the 11K resistor, would clear the 456 kc wave trap.

And finally, I added the necessary resistors.

   

11K replacing the original 11K section
5.6K in series with a 60 ohm resistor to replicate the 5660 ohm section
86.6 ohm replacing the original 86 ohm section
56 ohm replacing the original 56 ohm section
250 ohm replacing the original 250 ohm section

So, that job is done!

I added a rubber grommet to the hole in back of the chassis through which the AC line cord passes through.
