Giving a Zenith H725Z a second chance.
#4

Just a quick update: The radio is still playing fine, though I am hoping the line capacitor got replaced in this one. It was done at the same time my friend and I were just trying to get the essentials done of these radios and the old guy doing the work missed the line capacitor in my C845. I can't recall if I bought this already redone or had it redone right after purchase. One thing this radio does is it kind of forces you to use it daily at least for a short bit. It's like an old Jukebox, if you leave it sit, it gets fussy! At least on FM. Nothing fatal, but it makes you pay for leaving it sit idle more than a couple days. It was like that when I first got it going, though it is now easier to get out of its fussy state.

No matter where you go, there you are.
