This radio is in much better shape than others I’ve seen. Nothing broken or damaged in any way. Everything is there except for the Time Map inside the front drop-down compartment. Appear to have a base under the radio; I don’t have that. Resistor R18 has been replaced and nothing else. The tube filaments work and their plate voltages are normal. I sprayed, with contact cleaner, the band switch which made the oscillator work with a beautiful sine wave. Only the broadcast band was tested using the equivalent of the batteries (10.5V and 90V) from external power supplies. I will include the diagrams collected, the removed R18, and what’s left of the battery cable (with some new wire, of the proper colors, in that bag). The electrolytic cans can be restored with your new caps inside the existing cans (lots of work but very cool). I had a few various caps that would work in my pile of stuff so they are in the bag too.
This is a very cool rare Zenith radio designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Zentih, ca. This model turns on. Dimensions: 13″ wide x 6″ deep x 7.75 high.
