Zenith 7-S-363 Electrical Restoration Opinions Requested
#7

Thanks for all of your comments. I did not get the Zenith 7-S-363... but did get a 6-S-52. It has had a hard life, but perhaps there is some hope. The power transformer leads had lost much of their insulation due to someone in the past being careless. Decided to start there. Today took the transformer cover off and started putting on shrink tubing and new wires. Put it back together and checked for both open and short circuits with a VOM - looks good so far.

Lots of other problems. Certain that I will be calling on you for help as things move along.
