Hi Folks,
It has been quite a while since I had a genuine antique radio project, but a new one is set to come this way soon. A friend of Mrs H wants me to take a look at a radio that belonged to her Grandma. It is a Zenith H725, AM/FM receiver Circa 1952, and looks quite interesting. This will be the first series heater string radio I've worked on, and also the first without a transformer, so I'll have to brush up on the safety equipment and procedures around here.
I am expecting to get a first look at it some time this week, and will update here as things progress.
Ed
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
