Bad 35c5 in 60's Zenith K725 killed the FM?
#9

That sounds like an 845 series there, Arran. It is definitely worth the restore when you get to it. I have two C845s sitting in my bedroom right now. A black one that popped a line capacitor last year and a walnut version. Both are recapped now and working well, though the tone control on the black one is a bit fussy. The selenium in the K725 popped when I was testing it roughly three years ago and it was sitting under a high-boy console until I had it recapped.

No matter where you go, there you are.
