Zenith 9-S-262 Restoration Chronicles
#36

It's been awhile since I've posted some pictures of this set. Here is the underside. That's a 1 amp slow-blow fuse connected to the incoming line.

Here are some pictures of the top:

I performed the alignment and everything is coming in loud and clear on the AM band. I was even able to get some weak signals on the shortwave and amateur bands. I probably could have got more but the antenna I was using was only a few feet long. I swapped out the 6U5 tube for a 6E5. For me at least this tube gives a better response opening and closing as I tune in the stations.

I've already cleaned up the cabinet and will post some pictures this weekend.

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
