Zenith 12H090
#1

Hi folks,

While we are away at our other place, I am taking the opportunity to grab the chassis from this set to restore back at the radio hospital.

It was given to us by friends in LA and seems to have been owned from new. I have all the manuals and literature, including pages of labels for the preset buttons.

Quite a challenge to get the working bits out of the cabinet, and immediately, the crumbly rubber wire rears its ugly head.

Under the tuner, there is a lot of recapping to do and it appears difficult to reach the parts in many places.

Mrs H loves this set, and would like it to run again for when we are here. I am starting his thread to record progress once the RCA is off the bench.

Schematic and service info has already been located.

Cheers

Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
