Zenith consoles
#11

Thankyou all for your help. I'm afraid I'm becoming hooked on these Zenith consoles. Given their size and the fact that 99.9% of them are on your side of the sea I reckon that involves (at least) a double perversity. Icon_rolleyes

Ron - in answer to your question they are all original 110v US sets, bought over by the one individual (he at least has now relinquished this particular perversion, replacing it though with one hardly less challenging: the collection of outsized vintage hi fi speakers....)

One interesting difference between US and UK sets: I note that none of the Zeniths have sockets for the connection either of an extension loudspeaker or a "pick up" (with a corresponding "gram"[ophone] position on the wavechange switch). Almost all of our pre war sets had both. The pick up sockets are especially handy because one can feed a VHF/FM signal through them from, for example, an old hi fi tuner. I guess I'll have to invest in one of those little AM transmitters. Do any of you use your old sets for VHF/FM listening?

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
