Wow....tossing a 9-S-262 Zenith in the garbage is like tossing $200 in that same garbage.
And, if by some miracle (and this might be the case if no one tried to restore it) it still has 6T5 eye tube in it and by some double miracle it works, the tube alone today is ober $100.

Well, I can see it is not 6T5, maybe 6U5. Maybe you had to buy it. Still. This is one of the great and inexpensive ones.

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.
