I got this very nice Zenith from the SARS swap meet this weekend for $100 plus my Philcos 84B and 41-225. As soon as I heard it, I was blown away by the incredible sound quality of this radio. This radio sounds better, yes, BETTER than my Philco 41-255, and than my 16B. Anyway, I'm having a minor problem with the tuner. Not only is the old belt slipping, (ordering one soon), but when you try to tune it, you get a lot of popping and snapping. Sometimes it's good and loud, and it will spontaneously go quiet. A quick turn of the tuning knob usually fixes it. Any ideas of what could be causing that?
