Y600 Zenith Transoceanic with 6T40 chassis restoration
#1

The radio was gifted to me by Sam. The very first time we met he stuffed an H500 and two 600 TOs in my trunk.
They miss the tubes, so have to get those.

It has been a week since I started this chassis.
I finished recap, with the exception of the electrolytic caps.
The tubular 12uF is shorted out.
So is one out of for sections of the twistlock cap, which is badly out of tolerance, the 200uF section being 800 uF. This was replaced before as the values are 4x40uF.
Restuffing might not work due to size constraints so I might consider buying one.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
