Bad 35c5 in 60's Zenith K725 killed the FM?
#7

I figured that the faulty 35c5 might have been drawing enough to cause FM issues, but since Zeniths shut off the plates of the 12DT8 when in AM, there might have been enough power to still work on AM. The band switch is a slider type, not the earlier drum type. Actually, I wish it was the earlier style. In any case, the radio is still working fine and I plan on it being my nighttime radio as I don't need the power and punch of the C845 at night!

No matter where you go, there you are.
