Thanks again. I agree this one was a really fortunate find, and very close to being a total loss. It seemed very unpromising at first, especially while lying there all sad at the kerbside waiting for the end. But the more I looked, and have worked on it, the more I could see it being a success. Being not so familiar with Zenith, It was a surprise to find that this is quite a collectable radio, and fun to learn about something new.
John - Yes, I do enjoy the story of saving things like this, and in some ways having that behind it makes it a lot more appealing to me than if I'd found or bought a "pristine" working set. There's a lot of value in the journey.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
