Zenith 861 chassis restoration
#1

Just finished this chassis restoration. Lot of work  and I had to rewind the field coil and output trans.

Very nice! That thing was pretty filthy and rusty, great to see it back from the dead.

Very nice work Mike!  I like that vintage Zenith and your coil winder looks pretty nice too Icon_thumbup

Thank you Wallace and John. The coil winder I made from scrap wood and an old drill and an old sewing machine I bought at the goodwill store a few years ago. It comes in handy.
