Zenith 12-S-265 chassis #1204, questions on the LO
#5

I once had a 12 tube Zen-itch chassis, which Ire-capped to take to Elgin and peddle. It shaped up OK, and I proceeded to align it. I have the Zenith books, so I followed the alignment procedure. All went well untol the high band. For Pete's sake, No alignment trimmers. There was no way to bring in the alignment of that stupid thing on that band. No wonder Ron says what he does. The worst was that this chassis was about a 1937 12 tube set with P-P 6L6 output. Wot crap!

I have a couple of Zenith prewar sets that I like, but I feel that most of the Zenith afficianados go for them because it's just the thing to do. The "Walton" cabinet reminds me of a couple of big nostrils.
