Hey everyone,
Here are some pics of my newest find, A Zenith Trans-Oceanic 8G005yt from 1947-48. I normally don't have an interest in post war sets, but I just fixed a 1953 H-500 TO for a friend and kind of got an urge to get one for myself. I wanted an earlier version thoughIcon_rolleyes! I decided on this version as it is an 8 tube model with all loktal tubes and a push pull amplifier, which I think is pretty neat seeing as it's a "portable" setIcon_lol! i wasn't too crazy about the Ebay prices until I came across this one with a "But it now" price of $19.95! It wasn't listed there for longIcon_lol!!! After a few anxious days it arrived here undamaged today. I very happy with it, as it is in very good original condition with all of it's accesories.

All in all with shipping it was about 50 bucks, so I think I did pretty good on this one. guess i know what I'll be doing this winter!
