A little update. I decided to test both radios out on the bulb board today. The Zenith just gave me an an angry hum, but at least I got audio out of it. The GE came up on the bulbs and I actually got some scratchy sounds from the speaker with no hum, but the bulbs suddenly went all bright and the power chassis started making noises I didn't like. Bright bulbs=short! Cut power! I checked the underside of the power chassis and was surprised. This radio had been restored in recent years! I know the power transformer had been changed years ago, but this thing had been rebuilt under the chassis and the solder still looked like new. This could have very well been a working radio when the previous owner bought it and shoved it into his unheated back room he uses for storage. Hopefully this might bode well to get it going again. Speaker cone seems rather stiff though. I hope to get pictures tonight or tomorrow.
