The $15 Zenith C835R is recapped and playing.
#1

Just picked up my Zenith C835R along with some spare tubes today. It is now fully recapped and much to my shock, the electrostatic speaker is working. I could swear it was dead, but there is enough space between it and the main speaker for me to put my ear close (at low volume) and there is definite sound coming from it. According to other sites, the electrostatic tweeters were never as loud as a regular tweeter and this one seems about right. Now to finish up the details. Still missing a knob and I will post for one in the wanted section later. The edge of the cabinet is dinged on the right front, so I need a good way to reduce that before the final cleaning and the touch up with the Old English scratch and dent repair. This radios sounds really good on FM and decent on AM. Of course, AM in my area isn't great on any of my radios anymore.

No matter where you go, there you are.
