My Trans-Oceanic collection.
#31

   


I just picked up a package from eBay.
I only just managed to turn it on and make sure it works like new.
It looks like it needs very little work. Wash and clean. Repair the nameplate near the tuning knob. The telescopic antenna needs attention. Glue the dial drum back together. That seems to be it.
I've been eyeing this second-to-last Zenit Transoceanic unit for a while now. But the prices are pretty steep. This one didn't cost much with shipping either – 250 Canadian. But the normal price in this condition is three times higher.
So, I've already snagged two of the four transistor Transoceanics. Now I just need to find the 3000th. It's easy; there are a lot of offers, so the only problem is choosing. But the latest R7000 model is not only rare, but also exorbitantly priced. In fact, excluding the 3000th, which isn't a problem, to fully complete this collection, I'll need the very first Transoceanic in addition to the very last one. All that's left is to find 1,500 American greens for it.

If you want to work, lie down and sleep, and everything will pass.
