Hello Ron. I'm in Southern California. I know John, he has helped me with Zenith parts in the past. I know he has a nice 690X in his house.
Your right that your 690X deserves the best. I'm sure it will be a real performer when done. It sure looks nice!
I've heard they have a special type of tuning system. The features they came out with on the higher end sets is what makes them so special. I'd think a 20 tube radio chassis would be on the higher end of difficulty to restore with all the componients. I'm looking foward to someday having one. I'm going to give John a shout.
