Zenith 7-S-363 Electrical Restoration Opinions Requested
#3

Agree with Brian!! I fully restored a 7S-363 console type a few yrs ago. Plenty of room under/& top of the chassis to do all necessary repairs indeed! The one I restored was missing most of the orig Zenith station preset "push-on" type buttons. I had to make some replacements for those. Not sure if repros are avail now but perhaps so? I saved the few origs left (2 or 3 ?), if anyone can use em in the future?, lemme know. Great sounding/and receiving radios indeed once elec restored and aligned. Seems I had to change out a bad resistor on the eye-tube harness socket to brighten the eye tube if I remember correctly. Replacing the orig rubber-grommets under the tuning capacitor mounting points is also a good idea if needed. If you cant find "repros" for those, you can also use old-style rubber faucet washers avail @ Lowes,etc. as a retrofit, by carefully drilling out the holes to proper dia. and shaving down to perfect height (thickness needed), using a exacto knife. That will be a very nice Radio once restored!! Best Luck on your resto!! Icon_wink
